Bishop will man the crease for Wednesday's Game 1 against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old is coming off a dominant first round, when he backboned the Lightning to a 4-1 series win over Detroit while posting a 1.61 GAA and a .950 save percentage. However, Bishop will be dealing with a whole different animal in the Islanders, a team that is much deeper and is captained by playoff-leading goal scorer John Tavares. Bishop and the Bolts are probably still the favorites in the series, but his numbers may dip if a better offensive team (like the Islanders) is able to expose the absence of top-pairing defenseman Anton Stralman.
