Following the Tampa Bay Lightning's Game 1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, head coach Jon Cooper provided an update on goaltender Ben Bishop, who left the game on a stretcher with an apparent lower-body injury.

"Everything came back negative," Cooper said of Bishop's X-rays, according to NHL.com's Tom Gulitti. "So we're hoping for the best."
"He's definitely hurt," he added. "But there's nothing structurally wrong."
Cooper could not provide any description of the injury, or any timetable for how long the 29-year-old may be sidelined.
Backup netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy filled in admirably in Bishop's absence, stopping 25 of the 26 shots he faced to help the Lightning take a 1-0 series lead.
