Bishop will be available to start Game 1 vs. the Flames.

Bishop only played in the first Stars' round-robin game and then missed the third due to being "unfit to play." However, head coach Rick Bowness said he's available to start Game 1 vs. Calgary and likely will. He allowed four goals on 32 shots in the round-robin loss to Vegas and was 1-1-1 with a 2.29 GAA and .916 SV% in three games vs. the Flames this season.

Oilers announce that Ennis is out indefinitely.

Ennis was hurt in the second period of Game 2 after being hit into the end boards by Kirby Dach. Ennis was in visible pain and had to be aided off of the ice. With Ennis out, Andreas Athanasiou stepped into a larger role. It remains to be seen if that will be the case again in Game 4.

Reimer will make his series debut in Game 3.

Petr Mrazek started and won the first two games of the series but with Game 3 coming on the tail-end of a back-to-back, Reimer will start tonight. He started 24 games in the regular season, going 14-6-2 with a 2.66 GAA and .914 SV%. He has made seven career playoff starts, but the last one was in 2013. He was 3-4 with a 2.87 GAA and .923 SV% in that series.

Bishop led the Stars onto the ice for warmups.

The Stars have two very capable goaltenders and both will probably see playing time during the round-robin but Bishop will start the opener. He was 21-16-4 with a 2.50 GAA and .920 SV% in 43 starts this seasons. In two starts vs. the Golden Knights, Bishop was 1-0-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .917 SV%.
