Bishop gave up four goals on 33 shots Thursday in a 4-3 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
After a trio of third-period goals sank backup Andrei Vasilevskiy in Toronto on Tuesday, the Bolts followed it up by letting another two go by in Thursday's third period, turning a 3-2 lead into a loss. Bishop's hit an inconsistent stretch lately, alternating outings of sub-.900 save percentages with games of .970 or better over his last six starts. All things equal, you've got to take the bad with the good here, as the huge netminder has been one of fantasy's top netminders on the whole.

Bishop denied all 37 shots in Sunday's win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop was terrific in this one, withstanding a heavy workload late after facing just five shots in the opening frame. It was the fourth shutout of the season for the American, who currently boasts career-bests with a 2.02 GAA and .928 save percentage.

Bishop will tend the crease for Sunday's tilt with Columbus, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has enjoyed a stellar season to date, posting a league-leading 2.06 GAA and a .926 save percentage, which places him fourth in the NHL. Sunday looks to be a favorable matchup for Bishop and the Lightning when looking at the standings, but the Blue Jackets have found ways to put the puck in the net of late. Columbus has won five of their last nine games, and scored an average of 5.4 goals in those contests. The Lightning, meanwhile, have dropped each of their last three games.

Bishop wasn't great Friday, allowing three goals on 22 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The Bolts only threw 19 shots on goal in front of Bishop in this one, so it's not like he received much support as Tampa lost to Philly for the second straight game. Big Ben had gone eight straight games without a regulation loss prior to Friday, so he looks to be staying sharp as the Lightning head into the final month of the season. Through 51 appearances, the American netminder is now 28-18-4 with a 2.06 GAA and .926 save percentage.

Bishop will start in goal Friday night against the visiting Flyers, Erik Erlendsson of The Tampa Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
On top of a 13-5-1 record, Bishop has fashioned a sparkling 1.99 GAA and .930 save percentage since the calendar flipped to 2016. Wins should keep pouring in as long as Bishop remains this stingy toward opponents, but one area of concern is Tampa's power play, which is ranked 25th in the league.

Bishop stopped 32 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 1-0 overtime loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop was caught in a barn burner, but unfortunately allowed Boston to score just 10 seconds into overtime. The netminder came into the game riding a six-game winning streak, allowing just nine goals in that span. The 29-year-old still surpassed 30-plus saves for the fourth time in seven outings, and even sans a victory, Bishop remains a solid option between the pipes.

Bishop will start in goal Tuesday night, facing the Bruins at home, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop is among the league's hottest netminders, having allowed just seven goals over the past five games. As icing on the cake, he's had nothing but wins in that span, including an overtime victory over the Hurricanes this past Saturday. You shouldn't sit Bishop with the way he's going, but understand that the Bruins have an 11-3-1 record against the Bolts in the last 15 games.

Bishop will be in the crease in Saturday's home game against the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has been fantastic of late, posting a 5-0-0 record with an unreal 1.20 GAA and .962 save percentage in his last five appearance. The big-bodied netminder will look to pick up a sixth consecutive win Saturday in a highly favorable home matchup with a Carolina club averaging just 2.26 goals per game on the road this season, 25th in the NHL.
