Lightning's Ben Bishop: Not ready for Game 7

Bishop (leg) will be out of the lineup for Thursday's Game 7 matchup with the Penguins, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Bishop told reporters he is hoping to return during the Stanley Cup Finals, but you have to wonder if coach Jon Cooper would even consider pulling Andrei Vasilevskiy given his stellar performances thus far. There are a lot of ifs surrounding Bishop's potential return but if he is healthy enough and if the Lightning can advance, there's a chance the netminder could find himself back in goal.
