Bishop day to day after being stretchered off in Game 1
Ben Bishop appears to have dodged a major bullet.
Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman said Saturday that the goaltender is day to day with a lower-body injury, according to Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times.
Bishop was taken off the ice on a stretcher after falling awkwardly in his crease early in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night.
Lightning head coach Jon Cooper wouldn't provide an update on Bishop's status Saturday, but said he was relieved the injury wasn't as serious as it may have appeared.
X-rays taken after the game were negative, and Cooper said Friday night that Bishop was "definitely hurt, but there's nothing structurally wrong."
Andrei Vasilevskiy came on in relief and stopped 25 of 26 shots to preserve Tampa Bay's 3-1 win.
