Analysis:

After making quick work of the Wings in the quarterfinals, Bishop stumbled into the second round Wednesday, surrendering four goals on 13 shots before getting yanked midway through the second period. It probably would require much more weak sauce from Bishop before he'd get passed over for a start in the postseason. As a Vezina Trophy finalist, he's one of the surest bets among playoff goalies to pick up the lion's share of starts.
