Ben Bishop might not miss significant time, and the Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender knows he escaped a potentially serious injury.
Bishop didn't practice Sunday and Cooper said his netminder is still day to day after departing early in Friday's win following an awkward fall in the crease.
"I was really scared. I thought my leg was broken," Bishop said Sunday, according to ESPN's Joe McDonald. "It was a feeling I've never felt."
X-rays came back negative after the game and he was declared day to day on Saturday.
Andrei Vasilevskiy and Kristers Gudlevskis took the ice for Sunday's practice. Vasilevskiy stopped 25 of 26 shots after relieving Bishop in Game 1.
