Bishop stopped 29 of 30 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
This was a big game for the 32-year-old goalie, helping him correct course after losing his first two games back from an upper-body injury. Bishop reached 20 wins for the fifth time in his career, with a 20-14-2 record to go with a 2.25 GAA and a .926 save percentage. The Stars return home to face the 21st-ranked offense of the Rangers on Tuesday, who score an average of 2.84 goals per game.

Bishop will guard the goal Saturday against the Blues in St. Louis, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has shared starts with Anton Khudobin since returning, but he's proving to be healthy with a pair of strong efforts -- 72 saves on 76 shots -- so he should move back into a workhorse role in short order. He'll face a Blues club that has cooled off a bit since its 11-game winning streak, going just 2-3 over the last five.

Bishop surrendered only two goals on 46 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vegas clearly had the upper-hand on offense in this game, but it took until late in the third period for the hosts to cash in on their chances thanks to Bishop's excellent play. The goalie drops to 19-14-2 with a 2.29 GAA and a .925 save percentage. He's still looking for his first win since returning from an upper-body injury.

Bishop will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road clash with Vegas, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
A collision with Radek Faksa at practice Tuesday led to some speculation that Anton Khudobin would get the nod against the Golden Knights, but it appears Bishop is no worse for the wear and will patrol the blue paint. The two netminders figure to split the load the rest of the way in order to stay fresh for a postseason run, though Bishop could see a few more of the starts as he continues to work his way back from injury.

Bishop made 28 saves in a 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop was returning to the blue paint after a two-week absence due to yet another injury. He remains a strong statistical performer for his owners, even when his teammates can't seem to score. Perhaps Saturday's addition of Mats Zuccarello will give Bishop and the Stars more offence than their previous one-line approach.

Bishop will start between the pipes when the Stars host the Hurricanes on Saturday, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Bishop was activated ahead of Thursday's clash with the Blues, he served as the backup netminder for that contest He'll retake the cage Saturday for the first time since Feb. 4 against the Coyotes, looking to add to his already strong resume at home this season. Through 20 appearances, Bishop sports a 13-5-2 record with a 2.17 GAA and a .929 save percentage.

Bishop -- who missed two-plus weeks with an upper-body injury -- is likely to start either Saturday against the visiting Hurricanes or in Sunday's road clash with the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop dressed as the backup in Thursday's game against the Blues, but Anton Khudobin went the distance in that 5-2 win to afford the traditional starter more recovery time. As long as he can put these injuries behind him or work through them rather quickly, Bishop should see ample playing time down the stretch. While Dallas faces favorable odds of making the playoffs, there is still plenty of work to be done for the top goalie and his team.

Bishop (upper body) will serve as the backup for Thursdays game against the Blues, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop's absence will end at six games, though he won't return to the cage until Saturday against the Hurricanes at the earliest. A back-to-back set this weekend should afford Bishop a start in and he will likely retake his role as the primary netminder moving forward. The veteran netminder's return will almost assuredly result in Landon Bow's assignment back to AHL Texas.

Bishop (upper body) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Tuesday's home game versus Nashville, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Originally thought to be out against the Preds, Bishop has a chance to suit up Tuesday, though he more realistically will return Saturday, according to Stars head coach, Jim Montgomery. While Bishop remains on injured reserve, the team is calling him day-to-day.

Bishop (upper body) will not dress for Tuesday's clash with Nashville, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop will be sidelined for his sixth straight outing due to his lingering upper-body issue. The netminder was riding a four-game winning streak prior to getting hurt, in which he registered a 1.75 GAA and .943 save percentage. Until the Denver native is cleared to play, Anton Khudobin figures to carry the bulk of the load.
