The plain facts in the press release are that Ben Bishop will miss 3-4 weeks of the NHL season due to a lower body injury. Last night, during a game where Tampa re-discovered its offense and defeated the Red Wings 4-1, the team suffered the irony of a different kind of loss.
During the first period at the 12:05 mark, with the Bolts up by a goal, Bishop moved to deflect his fourth shot of the night from Red Wing Nick Jensen. Bishop turned to center on the puck, and while deflecting with his right leg, appeared to instantly realize that he's hurt something.
