Ben Bishop: (Lower Body) Status Still Uncertain

Though Bishop (lower body) was able take part in Wednesday's morning skate, coach Jon Cooper acknowledged that the goalie remains in a "holding pattern" with the injury and isn't certain to be available for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, NHL.com's Bryan Burns reports.

Analysis:

Cooper characterized the situation as the same as prior to Game 3, when it was questionable whether or not Bishop would be available to start the game and play through the injury. Bishop ultimately took the crease and delivered a 36-save effort as the Bolts stole a game on the road and pushed their series edge to 2-1, but the netminder looked to be a bit hobbled during various stretches of the game. It seems likely that he'll push through the injury and man the net again in Game 4, but definitive word won't come until pregame warmups are conducted. Andrei Vasilevskiy would get the call if Bishop is deemed unable to play.
