Ben Bishop will man the crease for Wednesday's Game 1 against the Islanders.

Bishop will man the crease for Wednesday's Game 1 against the Islanders.

Analysis:

The 29-year-old is coming off a dominant first round, when he backboned the Lightning to a 4-1 series win over Detroit while posting a 1.61 GAA and a .950 save percentage. However, Bishop will be dealing with a whole different animal in the Islanders, a team that is much deeper and is captained by playoff-leading goal scorer John Tavares. Bishop and the Bolts are probably still the favorites in the series, but the goalie's numbers may dip if the Islanders can expose the absence of top-pairing defenseman Anton Stralman.
