Lightning's Ben Bishop: Limited in optional skate Friday

Bishop (leg) was on the ice Friday morning, but Andrei Vasilevskiy will start Game 4 versus the Penguins, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Bishop reportedly had trouble moving in net during the optional skate and stayed in an upright position while taking shots. It's not clear at this point if Bishop will at least be available as a backup Friday, though that doesn't seem promising based on his inability to practice normally. Assuming Bishop can't go, Kristers Gudlevskis will serve in a backup role behind Vasilevskiy in Game 4.
