Dallas Stars netminder Ben Bishop is in goal for Game 2 against the Calgary Flames on Thursday after being deemed unfit to play for the series opener Tuesday.
Bishop, 33, has started just one game since the postseason began, allowing four goals on 32 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights during round-robin action.
Stars backup Anton Khudobin made 23 saves in a 3-2 loss to Calgary in Game 1.
Bishop was one of the most consistent puck-stoppers in the league this season, recording a 2.50 goals-against average and .920 save percentage over 43 starts.
