Degenerative knee injury ends goalie Ben Bishop's NHL career, Dallas Stars GM says

Dallas Stars goalie Ben Bishop will remain on long-term injured reserve with a degenerative knee injury that marks "the end of his career," general manager Jim Nill told The Dallas Morning News on Saturday.

Bishop, 35, underwent surgery last year to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee and had been on a conditioning stint with the AHL Texas Stars. On Thursday, in his first game since August 2020, he gave up eight goals on 34 shots.

The Stars recalled Bishop on Saturday, only to have Nill explain that the goaltender's NHL career is over.
