Lightning's Ben Bishop: Guarding cage Saturday

Bishop will start in goal Saturday evening against the visiting Capitals, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Bishop has lost each of his last four appearances between the pipes, with a 3.71 GAA over that span. Anton Stralman's return to the blue line Thursday, following a battle with an upper-body injury, figures to be a boon to Bishop given Stralman's two-way acumen. Saturday's slate features 12 games, so don't be afraid to fade Bishop in daily formats if you fear the Alex Ovechkin-led Capitals squad.
