Bishop stopped all 38 shots that he faced in the Stars shutout win over the Flames on Tuesday. The win snapped a bit of a ugly stretch for Bishop and the Stars, who will welcome the Lightning to American Airlines Center tonights. The 31-year-old netminder was lit up by his former team earlier in the season, but he is 19-8-1 with a 2.06 GAA and .933 SV% on home-ice.
Bishop stopped five of six shots after replacing Kari Lehtonen in the Stars’ loss to the Jets on Saturday. The 31-year-old has gone 3-3-0 while posting a 2.95 GAA and .899 SV% in February. In his first start against the Flames, Bishop turned aside 34 of 38 shots in a 6-4 win in late-November.
Thompson has split his time between the AHL and NHL this season, picking up three goals and three assists (six points) in 24 games with the Blues. During his time with the Rampage, the 20-year-old has 18 points (8G / 10A) in 30 contests. He is expected to play on Sunday afternoon, but there’s no word on who he will replace.
Bishop had a terrible start against the Sharks on Monday, allowing four goals on just five shots before being pulled from the game. It was the second time in three starts that Bishop had to be relieved in favour of Kari Lehtonen. He’ll be hard-pressed to get his game back on track tonight, as he draws a difficult matchup in Anaheim.
Lyon entered Sunday’s game against the Rangers after Michal Neuvirth went down with a lower-body injury, making 25 saves on 26 shots en route to picking up the win for the Flyers. Despite his strong play on Sunday, the Flyers still felt it necessary to acquire Petr Mrazek from the Red Wings, though Lyon is still expected to see some starts so long as Neuvirth and Brian Elliot are both sidelined. He draws a strong matchup tonight at home against the Canadiens.
Ennis was scratched in favour of Chris Stewart. Ennis has 13 points (5G/8A) in 51 games for the Wild this season.
Bishop had a disappointing game against the Canucks on Sunday, stopping just 16 of 20 shots before being pulled in favour of Kari Lehtonen. It was an unfortunate end to a strong stretch of games for Bishop, who had been 6-3-1 with a .934 SV% over his previous ten starts. He has a decent matchup tonight at home against the Blues.
Bishop stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Stars win over the Rangers on Monday. Bishop hasn’t been great on the road this season, going 5-7-2 with a 3.09 GAA and .894 SV%. The 31-year-old has not lost to the Blackhawks this season, going 3-0-0 with a 1.62 GAA and .938 SV% in three games vs. Chicago.
Thompson played just 7:54 TOI in Buffalo on Saturday and will sit tonight with the Blues dressing seven defensemen and just 11 forwards. Thompson has recorded just six points (3G / 3A) in 23 games since being called up.
Lyon went 0-1-0 with a 3.93 GAA and .860 SV% in three games with the Flyers while Brian Elliott was out. He returns to Lehigh Valley where he has gone 13-8-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .910 SV% this season.
Bishop allowed three goals on 42 shots in the Stars loss to the Kings last Tuesday. He ended up missing Saturday’s game after being hit in the face on the bench during Thursday’s game, but the swelling has gone down and he’s ready-to-go Monday. Bishop came out of January at 4-4-1 with a 2.22 GAA and .927 SV% in nine starts.
Bishop was hit in the face by a puck on the bench during Thursday’s game and won’t play Saturday. Bishop doesn’t have a concussion but they need to wait for some swelling to come down. A goalie will be recalled to backup Kari Lehtonen on Saturday.
Lyon turned aside all five shots that he faced in relief of Michal Neuvirth in his NHL debut last night. Neuvirth reportedly did not feel well during the game, so look for Lyon to get his first career start tonight in New Jersey. The 25-year-old is a bit of an unknown and is the fourth goalie on the Flyers depth chart but with injuries he’ll get his shot—he was 13-8-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .910 SV% in Lehigh Valley (AHL).
