Bishop surrendered four goals on 32 shots in the Lightning’s 6-4 win over the Red Wings on Thursday. Bishop wasn’t at his best on Thursday, but did enough to earn his first win of the season. One of the goals was a bizarre dump-in that took a weird bounce off of the glass on-net and subsequently by Bishop.

Bishop has been one of the safest fantasy netminders in the NHL over the last three years. Last season he won 35 games and his 112 wins over the last three seasons is tied with Braden Holtby for first in the NHL. Andrei Vasilevskiy will eat into his starts this year, but he will still start around 50 games, including tonight’s game vs. the Red Wings. Bishop has enjoyed a tonne of success vs. Detroit, especially in the playoffs, making him a solid start tonight.
Reimer, 28, split last season with the Maple Leafs and Sharks after being dealt at the Trade Deadline. He combined for a 17-14-7 record with a 2.31 GAA and .922 SV%. He has a career .914 SV% in 196 starts and signs with the Panthers as insurance for 37-year-old Roberto Luongo. Bobby Lu will likely start the majority of games, but Reimer should start more than your average backup with the upside for a straight platoon if he plays well.

Sheahan, 24, had 14 goals and 11 assists (25 points) in 81 games in 2015-16. It was a down year for the 2010 first round pick considering he notched 36 points (13G / 26A) in 2014-15.
