LAS VEGAS -- Stationed in the crease and packaged in a 6-foot-7 frame, Ben Bishop has become the Stars' security blanket. He's there to clean up mistakes, to stone opponents, and, ultimately, to keep the Stars in games. He's been part of the strength of the Stars this season, and the team will need him more than ever down the stretch.

During the Stars'4-1 loss to the Golden Knights on Tuesday night, Bishop was strong in his second start since returning from an upper-body injury that kept him inactive for six straight games. He made 44 saves, and was spectacular in facing an onslaught early.
