Ben Bishop will man the crease Friday against the Predators

Bishop will man the crease Friday against the Predators, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

After a rough outing in Montreal, where Bishop allowed four pucks to find the back of the net, the goaltender will look to rebound against a Nashville squad that has lost three of their last four games. The 29-year-old has been uneven as of late, as he's logged a 3-2-0 record with a .900 save percentage in his previous five contests which makes it difficult to predict what type of performance to expect from him.
