Bishop will be the home netminder Sunday against the Canucks, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Bishop has a 2.43 GAA and a .920 save percentage in his first season with the Stars. Expect business as usual in this one. The Canucks have only scored 2.56 goals per game, and they've managed a mere 29.5 shots on net per contest.

Bishop stopped 37 of 39 shots in Thursday's win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop stood on his head, outdueling Anton Forsberg and shutting down a desperate and hungry Chicago team. The veteran netminder has stopped 68 of 71 shots in consecutive victories, advancing to 23-14-3 on the season with a .920 save percentage. Bishop has seen a massive workload this season and will continue to be relied on heavily leading up to the playoffs.

Bishop will guard the goal Thursday against the Blackhawks at the United Center in Chicago, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop posted a bounce-back outing Monday after a couple of duds in his previous two showings, stopping 31 of the 32 shots he faced to pick up his 22nd win of the season. He will attempt to build off the showing Thursday against a Blackhawks club that enters the matchup on a three-game losing streak.

Bishop stopped 31 of 32 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
He hadn't played since last Tuesday due to taking a puck in the face while sitting on the bench Feb. 1, but Bishop looked to be in peak form in his return, albeit against a struggling Rangers squad. The 31-year-old has now allowed only one goal in three of his last five games, and after dealing with injuries and a trade last season, he appears to be back in the form that saw him pile up 112 wins over his last three full campaigns in Tampa Bay.

Bishop (face) will tend twine Monday against the Rangers, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop was hit in the face by a puck while he was sitting on the bench Tuesday, but the x-rays concluded no fractures so he'll be ready to go again Monday. The veteran backstop has kept the Stars in games lately, posting a .924 save percentage over the last three contests, but the offensive support was lacking -- two games with a goal or less -- so Bishop only got one win in that span. The Rangers will enter Monday's game losing five of their last six games, so Bishop should be set up well to get back into the swing of things.

Bishop -- who was serving as the backup against Arizona on Tuesday -- was hit by a puck on the bench, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fortunately for fantasy owners, x-rays came back negative and Bishop could be ready to go as early as Monday's tilt with the Rangers. In the meantime, Kari Lehtonen will fill the crease versus the Wild on Saturday.

Bishop stopped 39 of 42 shots in Tuesday's loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop turned in an excellent performance, but unfortunately the Stars weren't able to get a single goal past Kings' backup netminder Darcy Kuemper. The 6'7" netminder has given up seven goals in consecutive losses, falling to 21-14-3 on the season with a .917 save percentage. Bishop is a valuable fantasy goalie due to his heavy workload and decent rate stats, but it's hard to know what type of performance you'll get from him on a given night.

Bishop will patrol the blue paint for Tuesday night's game against the Kings, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop's last four starts have been a mixed bag of sorts -- he's had a bad start that led to a loss, a bad start that led to a win, a good start that led to a win, and a good start that led to a loss. Because of this, it makes it difficult to predict how he might fair Tuesday night, especially against a Kings team that has had its fair share of struggles recently after a good start to the season, losing seven of its last nine contests.

Bishop allowed four goals on 25 shots in Thursday's loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop had turned in two excellent showings before laying an egg against Toronto. The veteran netminder drops to 21-13-3 on the season with a .917 save percentage. His heavy workload makes him a valuable fantasy goaltender, but be aware of consistency issues. Bishop's tendency to follow up a superb performance with a not so great one has become a regular occurrence. He's been getting the job done lately, but Thursday is a reminder that he may slip every now and then.

Bishop will be between the pipes for Thursday's matchup with Toronto, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has stepped up his performance of late, as he is 4-1-1 in his previous six outings with a 1.82 GAA. The netminder will face a tough test in the Maple Leafs, who are netting 3.08 goals per game (seventh highest in the league). Fortunately for the Colorado native, the Stars will be playing at home, where he is 16-5-1 with a .934 save percentage.
