Ben Bishop will want this one back.

The Tampa Bay Lightning netminder has struggled with consistency throughout the first-round series against the Detroit Red Wings, and the second goal he allowed in Thursday's Game 4 won't help his confidence.

Bishop deflected a shot by Joakim Andersson with his glove and attempted to bat the puck clear with his stick. Instead, he knocked the puck off the crossbar and then nudged it over the goal line when he reached back to retrieve it.

Bishop entered Thursday with a .897 playoff save percentage and has 16 saves on 18 shots through 40 minutes. Tampa Bay's backup netminder is 20-year-old Andrei Vasilevskiy.
