Ben Bishop represented both his former and new teams Monday, joining the Los Angeles Kings for the morning skate while wearing his Tampa Bay Lightning mask.

It was Bishop's first appearance in Kings colors since Sunday's trade that sent him to the club along with a fifth-round pick for Peter Budaj, Erik Cernak, a seventh-round selection, and a conditional pick.

L.A. has a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild and Calgary Flames, respectively, so it's conceivable Bishop could make his Kings debut sooner rather than later.
