Bishop (undisclosed) did not participate in Thursday's scrimmage while taking a maintenance day, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday's missed scrimmage was the first on-ice action that Bishop missed since kicking off training camp, but it looks as though he wasn't held out due to any sort of injury. As such, it looks as though the 33-year-old won't miss much more time before resuming his usual practice workload.

Bishop (undisclosed) won't be on the ice for Thursday's intrasquad scrimmage, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site
EDGE Analysis
This is the first on-ice action Bishop has missed since training camp began, so it's possible, if not likely that he's just getting the day off. Another update on the Stars' No. 1 netminder should surface once he's ready to resume practicing.

Bishop has compiled a 21-16-4 record while posting a 2.50 GAA and .920 save percentage in 44 appearances this season.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop hasn't been able to replicate the numbers he posted a season ago (27-15-2 record, 1.98 GAA, .934 save percentage), but it's hard to complain about a third straight 20-plus win campaign and a .920 save percentage. If the NHL ultimately resumes regular-season play, the 33-year-old netminder could pick up 3-to-5 more victories down the stretch.

Bishop gave up four goals on 27 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has lost four consecutive games, yielding exactly four goals in three of those outings. He was down 4-0 on Tuesday before the game was 40 minutes old, a daunting deficit at the best of times, but especially during this four-game stretch in which the Stars have averaged just 1.25 goals per night. Bishop will try to snap his losing ways Thursday against Florida.

Bishop will get the starting nod at home versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop gave up just one goal on 23 shots faced in his last outing, his first since suffering a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old netminder should reach the 50-game mark and could challenge for the 30-win threshold for the first time since leaving Tampa Bay.

Bishop made 22 saves in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder came up with some big stops and didn't appear hampered by the minor lower-body injury that kept him out earlier in the week. Unfortunately, the Stars were unable to solve Juuse Saros for the second straight game, giving Bishop no margin for error. One the season, he now sports a solid 2.46 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Bishop will guard the home goal Saturday versus the Predators, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop was cleared to play Thursday but served as the backup to Anton Khudobin in the contest. He'll look to shake off his lower-body issue and some struggles in the cage all in one Saturday, but he'll have his work cut out for him versus a Nashville team that averages 3.31 goals per game on the road (third in NHL).

Bishop (lower body) has been cleared and is healthy for Thursday's game against the Predators, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop will serve as the backup Thursday, making Saturday his likely target date to retake the cage. He and Anton Khudobin have both seen a fair amount of action this season thanks to success in goal for each of them, so Bishop may not serve as a workhorse down the stretch.

Bishop (lower body) won't dress for Tuesday's game against the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Although Bishop won't dress against Edmonton, he was able to practice Tuesday morning and is considered day-to-day with his lower-body issue, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back between the pipes Thursday against the Predators. With Bishop unavailalbe, Anton Khudobin will guard the goal against the Oilers while Jake Oettinger serves as his backup.

Bishop allowed four goals on 28 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop allowed at least one goal in each period en route to his second consecutive loss following a three-game winning streak. The veteran netminder is still enjoying a strong season with a 2.49 GAA and .921 save percentage, and things only get easier from here considering these last two losses have come at the hands of the Blues and Bruins, who played each other for the Stanley Cup last season.
