Lightning's Ben Bishop: All systems go for World Cup

Bishop (ankle) is ready to go for the World Cup of Hockey, CBC reports.

Analysis:

Bishop strained ligaments around his ankle in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, which prompted the Bolts to unleash Andrei Vasilevskiy against the eventual Stanley Cup-winning Penguins. Hockey pundits expected the two-time Vezina Trophy finalist to be traded during this year's draft, but Bishop remains property of the Lightning with the season just over a month away. The franchise's all-time leader in wins (115) and shutouts (16), Bishop is expected to be one of the first fantasy goalies off the board ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.
