Ben Bishop Has Rough Night in Crease; Start Him With Caution
7 years agoDallas Stars goalie Ben Bishop had a night he’d soon like to forget on Thursday night, yielding five goals on 25 shots (.800 save percentage). His night turned sour quickly as Brayden Point turned Bishop around and tapped a puck into the net just over one minute into the game. After his team provided him with a 2-1 lead in the second period, the Stars goalie proceeded to give up three consecutive goals in a span of about seven minutes. The Stars tied the game up at 4-4 with just under four seconds left in the game, but a determined Cory Conacher beat Bishop 4:19 into overtime on a beautiful individual effort. The netminder has now given up four or more goals in three of his past six starts. If Bishop gets the start on Saturday against the St. Louis Blues, take caution in starting him as your weekly matchup comes to an end.
