Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop is unlikely to play during Friday’s Game 4 contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Tampa. He’s still laid up with a lower-body injury after being stretchered off the ice in Game 1.
Bolts coach Jon Cooper told the media Thursday that Bishop is “in that doubtful range,” putting a positive spin on it by noting, “That’s better than being out.” Indeed it is.
Bishop wasn’t a full participant in Thursday’s practice. He partook in some drills and then spent the rest of the skate watching his teammates.
Bishop on if he feels 100%: "Still not there yet, but we're getting there." #TBLightning
