Bishop will start Thursday's Game 2 versus the Flames, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop missed the last two of the Stars' round-robin games with an undisclosed injury. He then backed up Anton Khudobin in Tuesday's Game 1 loss. Bishop will now get a chance to start the first half of a back-to-back while trying to pull the Stars even in the series.

Bishop, who served as a backup option in Game 1 against Calgary, could be back in the starter's crease for Game 2 on Thursday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has been out of the lineup since the first game of the postseason against the Golden Knights on Aug. 3 in which he gave up four goals on 32 shots. The fact that Anton Khudobin struggled in Tuesday's clash with the Flames, giving up three goals on just 26 shots in a losing effort, should clear the way for Bishop to retake the starting job.

Bishop (undisclosed) is healthy and ready for Tuesday's Game 1 matchup with Calgary, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Rick Bowness declined to name a starter, so fantasy players will likely have to wait until the team takes the ice for warmups Tuesday. Bishop is winless in his previous five appearances along with a 3.97 GAA while Anton Khudobin is coming off a 21-save win over St. Louis on Sunday.

Bishop (undisclosed) did not suit up for Sunday's round-robin finale versus the Blues, Owen Newkirk of the Stars Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop was not expected to participate in Sunday's contest. Bishop was a full participant in practice Saturday and is expected to be available when the Stars begin Round 1 against Calgary.

Bishop (undisclosed) completed a full practice Saturday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop almost certainly won't be available for Sunday's round-robin finale against the Blues, but he's clearly trending in the right direction, and appears to be on track to be ready for Game 1 of Dallas' first-round series. The Stars just gave up four goals to the Avalanche in a blowout loss Wednesday, so they could certainly use Bishop back between the pipes.

Bishop (undisclosed) worked with goaltending coach Jeff Reese for 30 minutes Friday, but he left the ice once his teammates arrived for practice, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop appears to be making some progress in his recovery, but at this point he should be considered a longshot to suit up for Sunday's round-robin finale against St. Louis. If that ends up being the case, Anton Khudobin will almost certainly get the nod against the Blues, while Bishop will shift his focus to getting healthy in time for Game 1 of Dallas' first round series.

Bishop (undisclosed) has been deemed unfit to play and isn't dressed for Wednesday's round-robin contest against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop was the expected starter for this one but was a late scratch, with third-stringer Jake Oettinger dressing to back up Anton Khudobin. Stars blueliner John Klingberg was also held out with the "unfit to play" designation, and it's unclear at this point if either he or Bishop will miss Sunday's final round-robin game against St. Louis.

Bishop allowed four goals on 32 shots Monday in a 5-3 round-robin loss against Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop and the Stars were 10 minutes away from victory when a 3-1 lead stunningly turned into a two-goal defeat. Mark Stone, Nate Schmidt and William Carrier each beat Bishop in a five-minute span to give the Golden Knight's a 4-3 lead, and William Karlsson sealed the deal with a late empty-netter. Bishop will look to tighten things up Wednesday against Colorado.

Bishop will get the starting nod for Monday's round-robin tilt with the Golden Knights, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop started last week's exhibition game as well, so it's no surprise he'll be the Stars' No. 1 netminder to start the round-robin contests. He recorded a strong 2.50 GAA and .920 save percentage in 44 regular-season appearances.

Bishop will start Thursday's exhibition against the Golden Knights, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shapiro also noted that Bishop and Khudobin are expected to split the game with about 30 minutes of action each. Bishop's starting nod could be a signal that he will be the first to take the net when the Stars begin the round-robin, but Khudobin was outplaying him down the stretch and should be in the mix as well. Thursday's exhibition could also play a factor in how the staff decides to proceed in net.
