Bishop (wrist) will serve as Anders Linback's backup tonight and likely start on Tuesday.

Bishop missed the last four games with a sprained wrist but is ready to be activated from IR and dress tonight. Bishop has become one of fantasy's elite backstops this season, monitor his status tomorrow and get him in your lineup if he starts.

The Red Wings have recalled Riley Sheahan from Grand Rapids (AHL).

With the Red Wings missing Pavel Datsyuk, Darren Helm and Johan Franzen, they are in need of another centre, hence the recall of Sheahan. Sheahan recorded two assists in four games with the Red Wings, both came in a game vs. the Maple Leafs on December 21. He could find himself in the lineup in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Bishop left Sunday's contest with an apparent hand injury and did not return.

There is no word on the nature or severity of the injury and the Lightning are expected to update his status in the afternoon following x-rays. It would be a terrible loss for the Lightning if Bishop were to miss an extended period of time. Stay tuned.

Bishop starts for the Lightning.

Bishop stopped all 19 shots that he faced to record his fourth shutout of the season in Friday's 2-0 win over the Flames. It was his 22nd win of the year and seventh in his last eight starts. The Lightning continue their western Canada road-trip as they take on the Oilers tonight. Bishop stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 4-2 win over Edmonton in November, he is a must-start unless your goalies numbers are wrapped up.

Bishop starts for the Lightning.

Bishop allowed two goals on 30 shots in a 4-2 win over the Canucks on January 1. Despite posting a fantastic 21-5-3 record with a 1.89 GAA and .935 SV%, Bishop was snubbed from Team U.S.A. He has developed into an elite fantasy goalie option this season and is definitely a must-start against the Flames tonight. He is 9-3-2 on the road.
