Bishop made 38 saves Saturday in a 4-1 victory over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
It was a queasy start -- Bishop allowed a goal 43 seconds into the game. He then buckled down and turned in an outstanding performance. The Stars have scuffled so far this season, so this performance gave his team a real boost. Perhaps Bishop's return to his 2018-19 form will be just what his mates need to right their ship.

Bishop is listed as the projected starter in David Satriano's NHL.com preview of Saturday's game against the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop's Stars are just 1-7-1 to open the season, with Bishop carrying a personal 1-4-1 mark to go with a 2.83 GAA and .899 save percentage. Last year's Vezina Trophy finalist has been a major disappointment to start the season, but perhaps a matchup with a Flyers team that's dropped three straight games is just what Bishop needs to turn his season around.

Bishop stopped 32 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder kept the Stars in the game with some timely saves after they fell behind 2-0 in the first period, but Sonny Milano's highlight-reel game-winner in the third will probably haunt his nightmares -- the Jackets winger split the defense on a rush from the blue line, then tucked the puck between his own legs and flipped it over Bishop's shoulder from behind his skate. Bishop has a 1-4-1 record to begin the season with a 2.84 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Bishop will guard the goal during Wednesday's road game against the Blue Jackets, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has been one of the biggest fantasy disappointments thus far this season, compiling a 1-3-1 record while posting a sub-par 2.78 GAA and .895 save percentage through his first five appearances. The 6-foot-7 American will look to start righting the ship in a road matchup with a Columbus club that's only averaging 2.20 goals per game this campaign, 26th in the NHL.

Bishop allowed four goals on 22 shots in a 4-0 loss to Buffalo on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Following Monday's loss, Bishop's record stands at an unsavory 1-3-1 on the year. The Sabres, already leading 2-0, only recorded three shots in the third period, two of which eluded Bishop. Until we start seeing favorable results on a consistent basis, consider any Dallas netminder a risky fantasy play.

Bishop will protect the road cage in Monday's game against the Sabres, Mike Heika of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop displayed his best performance of the season in his last start against Calgary, steering away 27 of 29 shots but posted a shootout loss. The veteran netminder will take a crack at the Sabres in a favorable matchup. In 13 career games against Buffalo, Bishop has a 12-0-1 record and a .951 save percentage -- the highest mark against any team in his career. However, the Sabres are off to an impressive 4-0-1 start with 4.25 goals per game, so Bishop will need to stand tall to keep up his dominance of Buffalo.

Bishop allowed a pair of goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Jamie Benn staked the Stars out to a 2-0 lead just nine seconds into the third period, but Bishop was unable to make that advantage hold. The 32-year-old has a 1-2-1 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .910 save percentage through four starts this season. Bishop's only win came against the Capitals, who will pay the Stars a visit Saturday.

Bishop will guard the cage during Thursday's home game against Calgary, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has had a disappointing start to the season, posting a 1-2-0 record while registering an underwhelming .902 save percentage and 2.71 GAA in three appearances. The 6-foot-7 netminder will look to start returning to form in a home matchup with a Flames team that's averaged 3.00 goals per contest through the first three games of the campaign.

Bishop allowed three goals on 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime road win against the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday's contest was a back-and-forth affair with four lead changes, culminating with Tyler Seguin's overtime winner at 0:43 of the extra period that gave Bishop his first win of 2019-20. The Stars' netminder will be happy with this result after beginning the season with consecutive losses. Dallas' next game comes Thursday against Calgary.

Per Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News, Bishop was the first netminder off the ice at morning skate, which suggests he'll start between the pipes in Tuesday's road game against the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has had an underwhelming start to the season, suffering back-to-back losses to the Bruins and Blues while posting a disappointing 2.59 GAA and .900 save percentage. The 32-year-old American will look to start righting the ship in a matchup with a Washington team that's averaged 2.33 goals per game through its first three contests of 2019-20.
