Ben Bishop will get a rare night off after starting the first eight games for the Tampa Bay Lightning this season.

The Lightning recalled goaltender Kristers Gudlevskis from the AHL's Syracuse Crunch on Saturday, and he will make the second regular-season start of his career in a Stanley Cup Final rematch against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The 23-year-old started two games for Syracuse this season, winning both of them while recording a 2.00 goals against average, and a .930 save percentage.
