Tampa Bay head coach Jon Cooper is unsure if injured goalie Ben Bishop will return for Saturday night’s Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals against Chicago.
Bishop sat out the Lightning’s 2-1 loss in Game 4 on Wednesday with a lower-body injury. The series is tied 2-2.
“I do not know sitting here today if Ben Bishop is going to play on Saturday,” Cooper said Friday. “I hope he plays. I don’t know if he’s going to. He’s got to get back on the ice. If he’s not in the pregame skate (Saturday), that’s a pretty good indication of whether he’s going to play or not.
