Bishop is in line to start against the visiting Jets on Saturday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given that Bishop was the only goalie listed in the lineup preview, it's safe to assume that he'll get the start against a Jets team that ranks eighth in the league by means of averaging 3.10 road goals per game.

Bishop made 17 saves on 19 shots Thursday, taking a defeat in a 2-1 loss to Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
There's usually nothing wrong with holding an opponent to two goals, but when you only see 19 pucks, that's actually a problem. Bishop simply isn't playing that well right now, having failed to break .900 in his save percentage in four of his five starts in January, and it's best to look at other options if you can until he turns things around.

Bishop will be between the pipes at home versus the Kinds on Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has been struggling of late, as he is 2-2-1 in his previous five outings along with a 3.03 GAA. The American netminder could benefit from squaring off with a Kings squad that is scoring a meager 2.25 goals per game (fewest in the league). With the All-Star break on the horizon, Bishop figures to get the nod against the Jets on Saturday as well -- though no official confirmation has come from the team.

Bishop will tend the home twine Saturday against the Blues, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop let in just one goal on 27 shots Tuesday against the Blues, so he enters Saturday's contest looking for his first winning streak in over a month. The Blues have really struggled to get it going on the road this season, notching just 2.31 goals per game, so he should have a good shot at making that a reality.

Bishop will protect the net Tuesday against the Blues in St. Louis, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has hit a slide in his road showings recently, going 1-4-0 with a 3.24 GAA and a .891 save percentage over his past five appearances. The Blues own a minus-10 goal differential in 24 home games this season, so Bishop could bust out of his funk.

Bishop made 25 saves and gave up four goals in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Winnipeg
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has allowed three or more goals in each of his last three outings. The Stars' netminder boasts a very mediocre 5-7-0 road record this season. On the other side of things, Bishop has played stellarly at home and currently holds a 9-3-2 in front of Dallas' home crowd.

Bishop will work between the pipes as Sunday's road starter versus the Jets, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has been rather inconsistent on the way to a 14-9-2 record, 2.35 GAA and .923 save percentage between 25 starts and 26 total appearances this season. Facing Winnipeg is not what you'd consider an easy task, as that club ranks third on the power play (27.9 percent) and eight overall in scoring at 3.33 goals per game.

Bishop gave up four goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars blew multiple leads Wednesday night but managed to hang on in what was an offensive showcase. Bishop was busy, especially in the game's final period that saw New Jersey record 20 shots on goal, all of which were turned aside by the Dallas netminder. The win moves Bishop's record to 14-9-2 to go along with a 2.35 GAA and .923 save percentage. He should get the start again Thursday at home against the Caps.
