Lightning's Ben Bishop: Still out for Game 5

Bishop (leg) is not yet ready to rejoin the lineup for Game 5.

Analysis:

Bishop's leg injury has held him out since Game 1 of this series, and while he was expected to play at some point in this series, his chances are thinning. The youngster (Andrei Vasilevskiy) will take his place in net once again for Game 5, squaring off against Marc-Andre Fleury and the Pens for the fourth straight time, while Bishop will now take aim at potentially playing in Game 6. However, he did not take shots during Sunday's morning skate, suggesting a return may not be on the horizon.
