Lightning's Ben Bishop: Doubtful for Thursday's Game 7

Bishop (leg) is not likely to play in Game 7 on Thursday. "It's still not quite there. You can't just jump right in," said the goalie in a report by Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times.

Analysis:

Bishop reportedly wasn't moving as well as he could be during the morning skate Tuesday - ahead of Game 6 - which turned out to be a 5-2 home loss to the Penguins. He still hasn't played in the conference finals since sustaining his leg injury in Game 1. Those owning the big tender in playoff leagues can only hope the Lightning advance to the Stanley Cup Finals to give Bishop more time to recover.
