VIDEO: Bishop wanders, slams into Hedman; Sharp capitalizes on goaltender's gaffe
Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports
Ben Bishop's return to the crease was fine - until he wandered from it.
Ill-advised, Bishop slammed into Victor Hedman as he came out to clear a puck dumped into the Tampa Bay Lightning zone, allowing the snake-bitten Patrick Sharp to open the scoring for the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Bishop's blunder came just moments after his counterpart, Corey Crawford, nearly handed Tampa Bay the lead with a miscue on an attempted clearance.
Sharp's deposit was his first since Game 2 of the Blackhawks second-round series victory over the Minnesota Wild - a span of 14 games.
