Ben Bishop's injury will likely keep him from starting Game 4 for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The goaltender is "in that doubtful range" for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper told reporters Thursday.

Cooper added that Bishop hasn't been ruled out for the contest entirely.

The netminder practiced Thursday, but didn't occupy a net of his own and wasn't a full participant.

Bishop said he's still not feeling 100 percent healthy after being stretchered off with a leg injury in Game 1.

The Penguins lead the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals 2-1.
