Ben Bishop Secures Winter Classic Victory
5 years agoDallas Stars goaltender Ben Bishop backstopped his team to a 4-2 Winter Classic win versus the Nashville Predators on Wednesday, turning aside 31 of 33 shots against in the outdoor match-up. The 33-year-old gave up two power-play markers just eight minutes into the contest but managed to shut down the Preds the rest of the way to earn his 14th win of the campaign. It was another strong performance from Bishop as he continues to hold up as a top-tier goaltender in Dallas. After finishing second in Vezina voting last season, the St. Louis native has turned in a 2.33 goals-against average and a .926 save percentage through the first half of 2019-2020. It might be hard for him to match his franchise-best 1.98 GAA and .934 SVP from a year ago but he may get close. He'll look to keep rolling versus the Wings on Friday.
