As expected, Bishop will return as the Stars backup on Thursday and that puts him on-track to start one of their back-to-back games this weekend. Landon Bow was returned to Texas (AHL) to make room for Bishop.
Bishop has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury but will serve as Anton Khudobin’s backup on Thursday. Following Thursday’s game, the Stars have a back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday so look for Bishop to start one of those games.
Ennis has been sidelined since breaking his ankle on December 22nd but was activated from IR on February 10th and has sat as a healthy scratch for the last three games. Ennis will replace Andreas Johnsson, who is out with a leg injury, and comes into play with seven goals and four assists (11 points) in 33 games this season.
Reimer was pulled after allowing three goals on 12 shots in the Panthers loss to the Lightning on Sunday. Since the calendar flipped to 2019, Reimer has gone 2-3-2 with a 2.93 GAA and .905 SV%, which is slightly better than his overall numbers on the season. Still, he hasn’t been very good this season and tonight’s matchup with the Flames is not a friendly one.
Bishop will miss his fourth straight game with an upper-body injury, so Anton Khudobin will start after posting a shutout on Tuesday. Monitor Bishop’s status leading up to Saturday’s game in Carolina.
Bishop will miss his third straight game, so Anton Khudobin will start in Florida. Bishop remains day-to-day and could be back later this week.
Bishop is dealing with a minor injury, so Landon Bow was called up to serve as Anton Khudobin’s backup. Despite not being available tonight, Bishop remains a candidate to start Saturday.
Thompson came to the Sabres with so much upside and a lethal shot but has registered just seven goals on 81 shots (8.6 SH%) and four assists (11 points) in 45 games this season. Thompson will be replaced by Johan Larsson tonight.
Reimer allowed one goal on 35 shots in the Panthers win over the Golden Knights on Saturday. Reimer has won two straight games while stopping 71 of 74 shots (.950 SV%) so the Panthers will stick with the hot hand tonight vs. the Blues. The 3-year-old has gone 5-4-3 with a 2.99 GAA and .910 SV% at the BB&T Center this season.
Bishop allowed one goal on 22 shots in the Stars win over the Wild on Friday. Bishop has won three in a row while allowing just three goals on 81 shots (.963 SV%). Dallas has been excellent since the All-Star break and draw a solid matchup with the banged-up Coyotes in town. Bishop stopped all 30 shots that he faced in a 3-0 shutout win in his first game vs. Arizona (Oct.4).
Reimer allowed two goals on 39 shots in the Panthers win in Nashville on January 19th. The victory was the only one Reimer recorded in five outings in January and is now 9-8-5 with a 3.15 GAA and .897 SV% in 27 appearances this season. Tonight he faces a Golden Knights team that has lost three in a row and five of their last seven.
