Lightning's Bishop out 3-4 weeks with lower-body injury

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop will miss three-to-four weeks with a lower-body injury, the club announced Wednesday.

The news comes after Bishop was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Detroit Red Wings, after he stretched out to make a pad save in the first period.

In wake of the news the club has recalled goaltender Krister Gudlevskis from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League, who is likely to backup Andrei Vasilevskiy.
