Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop has not been ruled out for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final Monday night, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said today.
Cooper declined to elaborate on Bishop’s status beyond saying he was still “day to day,” but did say he was encouraged by the progress he has made since he had to be carted off the ice on a stretcher in the first period against the Penguins Friday.
Bishop, for his part, said his immediate thought was that he had broken his leg, but X-rays and MRIs came back clean.
