He draws a really tough matchup tonight in St. Louis.

Bishop was banged up for five goals on 31 shots (.839 SV%) in a 6-5 shootout loss to the Capitals on Tuesday. The Lightning did not play great and the game was a constant parade to the penalty box for both teams. As I always say, a matchup with Alex Ovechkin is dangerous and boy was that ever true on Tuesday. The Russian sniper potted four of the Capitals five goals. He draws a slightly easier matchup against a Red Wings team struggling to close out games.

Bishop turned aside 33 of 34 shots in a 3-1 win over the Senators last Thursday. Bishop has been great lately - he has allowed only five goals in his last five starts while posting a .969 SV%. He carries a 5-3-1 / 1.97 GAA / .932 SV% road record into Washington tonight to take on the Capitals.

Zucker has not recorded a point in six games with the Wild this season but while with Iowa he has seven goals and five assists in 16 games.

Reimer stopped 37 of 40 shots in a loss to the Sharks in Tuesday. It was a good performance from Reimer, but it was not enough to get the W.

Besides that game, Reimer has been great against the Sens, posting an 8-1-1 record against them in his career.

Bishop allowed one goal on 21 shots, but still walked away with the loss on Tuesday. The Lightning couldn't beat a combination of Sergei Bobrovsky and Curtis McElhinney. Despite only walking away with one win in his last four starts, Bishop has been fantastic, posting a 0.99 GAA and .969 SV%.

Bishop allowed two goals on 28 shots in a loss to the Penguins on Friday. He will be back in the cage tonight in search of his 15th win of the season. He has been great all year posting a 2.08 GAA and .931 SV% and draws a good matchup tonight @ Columbus.

Reimer allowed three goals on 29 shots in a overtime loss to the Sabres on Friday. The loss moved him to 2-3-1 with a 3.03 GAA and .916 SV% in November. Reimer will look to get off to a hot start in December when he takes on the Sharks tonight. It will be Reimer's third career start vs. San Jose, he is 1-1-0 in the first two.

Bishop left practice on Tuesday with an apparent hand injury, but he will be between the pipes today. The injury was obviously nothing serious as he faces the Penguins tonight. It is a very difficult matchup, but Bishop has stopped 78 of the last 79 shots he's faced in his last two starts.

Reimer allowed six goals on 21 shots in a blowout 6-0 loss to the Blue Jackets on Monday. After the ugly loss, Reimer gets a good opportunity to get back on track with the Maple Leafs in Buffalo. The Sabres are 5-20-1… I'd say you start him.

Zucker is not expected to have any fantasy significance.

Excellent news for the Lightning and Bishop owners as it looks like he'll be able to make his next start. Bishop has a sparkling 14-3-1 record and is finally providing the Lightning with reliable goaltending.

Anders Lindback will start tonight, but not because Bishop is hurt, because it was scheduled. Bishop or coach Jon Cooper offered much insight on the injury other that to say "I'm OK" and "he is fine. It sounds like the Lightning dodged a bullet and Bishop could be in net on Friday. Monitor his status tomorrow and Friday just to be sure that he is fine.

Bishop allowed one goal on 41 shots on Friday, however that goal came in overtime which means it was the game-winner. It was a tough loss for Bishop, who has now dropped three straight. It is not surprising that the Lightning are struggling to score without Steven Stamkos. They have just six goals in their last four games and until they start scoring, their success hinges on Ben Bishop's efforts in net.

Reimer was great on Saturday stopping 49 of 50 shots in a 2-1 shootout win over the Capitals. It was his second straight win and sixth of the season. He will take on the Blue Jackets at home tonight where he is 4-0-0 with a 1.96 GAA and .951 SV%.
