Bishop will guard the cage in Saturday's Game 2 against the Predators in Nashville, NHL.com's Tracey Myers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bishop was fantastic in Game 1, turning aside 30 of 32 shots en route to an impressive 3-2 road victory. The 6-foot-7 netminder will likely be tested early and often Saturday, as the Predators will undoubtedly be doing everything in their power to avoid dropping a second straight game in their own barn, where they went 25-14-2 during the regular season.

Bishop stopped 30 of 32 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Predators in Game 1 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

Bishop was strong in the opening game of the best-of-seven series. He was out with a lower-body injury near the end of the regular season, but he's healthy now. Much of the Stars' hopes for a deep playoff run rests with Bishop's play and his ability to stay healthy, as he had a 1.98 GAA over 46 appearances (45 starts) in the regular season.

Bishop will be between the pipes for Wednesday's Game 1 in Nashville, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bishop closed out the regular season strong with a 24-save shutout against the Wild, picking up his 27th win of the regular season to top the 26 he posted his first year in Dallas during 2017-18. He will look to continue that success Wednesday against a Predators squad that closed out the regular season with five wins in its last six games.

Bishop made 24 saves to shut out the Wild in the regular-season finale Saturday, with the final score at 3-0.

EDGE Analysis

Bishop was questionable with a lower-body injury, but he toughed it out and clearly was none the worse for wear in the final tune-up ahead of the playoffs. Dallas will meet with the Predators for the conference quarterfinals, with Bishop naturally expected to get most -- if not all -- of the starts as the traditional No. 1 starter for the Central Division club.

EDGE Analysis

Bishop has sat out the last four games due to a lower-body injury but he'll make it back into the blue paint for the season finale. The veteran netminder is having an excellent season with a .933 save percentage and 2.03 GAA through 45 appearances. He draws a favorable matchup against the Wild, who average 2.59 goals per game to rank 27th in the league.

Bishop (lower body) is expected to start Saturday's home game against the visiting Wild to cap off the regular season, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As noted by Myers, the Stars are trying to lock up the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference, and they can do just that by obtaining a single point in the regular-season finale. Bishop -- who has gone 26-15-2 with a 2.03 GAA and .933 save percentage -- hasn't appeared in a game since leaving with the injury March 27.

Bishop (lower body/rest) won't be available for Friday's game against Chicago, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bishop will miss his fourth-straight game after suffering a lower-body injury March 27. Per Shapiro, it's possible Bishop could draw the start in Saturday's game against Minnesota, but the team could elect him to rest for the playoffs. In his stead, Anton Khudobin will most likely draw the start Friday and Landon Bow will continue to serve as his backup.

Bishop (lower body) was able to skate Monday but won't dress in Tuesday's clash against the Flyers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bishop was able to return to the practice ice for the first time since suffering the lower-body injury Wednesday. Head coach Jim Montgomery did say that he expects Bishop to start either Friday or Saturday's game before the playoffs ensue. The 32-year-old has been great in his past five starts before injury, going 3-1-0 along with a 1.51 GAA and .942 save percentage. In his stead, Anton Khudobin will draw the start and Landon Bow will continue to serve as his backup.

Bishop (lower body) remains day-to-day and won't suit up in Saturday's road game against the Canucks, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bishop missed Thursday's game, after the injury forced him to leave Tuesday's game. The 32-year-old's absence will be tough for the Stars, as he's 26-15-6 to go along with a 2.03 GAA and .933 save percentage this campaign. In his stead, Anton Khudobin will draw the start, and Landon Bow will continue to serve as his backup.

Bishop (lower body) has been given a day-to-day designation, but he won't be available for Thursday's game against the Oilers, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fortunately, it appears Bishop has avoided a major injury in this instance, but Anton Khudobin appears slated to start the contest, while a netminder from the minors (likely Landon Bow) will be promoted to back up. More clarity on Bishop's status should surface ahead of Saturday's contest against the Canucks.
