Lightning's Ben Bishop: Will see Wings in first start Thursday

Bishop will start between the pipes Thursday night, facing the Red Wings in the home opener, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports

Analysis:

Bishop sports a lifetime 2.18 GAA at Amalie Arena in Tampa, and he's enjoyed plenty of success against the Red Wings over 14 career games, including a 9-4-0 record and .935 save mark. However, the Red Wings may have a collective chip on their shoulder after getting ousted by the Bolts in the conference quarterfinals of the playoffs last season.
