Bishop allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Stars win over the Blues on Saturday. Bishop has been superb on American Airlines Center ice this season, going 20-8-2 with a 2.15 GAA and .930 SV% in 32 appearances. He is an excellent option to kick-off the week with the 22-32-10 Ottawa Senators in Dallas tonight.
Bishop allowed five goals on 25 shots in the Stars OT loss to the Lightning on Thursday. Bishop has allowed 12 goals on 91 shots (.868 SV%) and one shutout in his last five appearances. Tonight he will face the Blues for the third time this season—Bishop is 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .955 SV% in his first two starts vs. St. Louis this season.
Bishop stopped all 38 shots that he faced in the Stars shutout win over the Flames on Tuesday. The win snapped a bit of a ugly stretch for Bishop and the Stars, who will welcome the Lightning to American Airlines Center tonights. The 31-year-old netminder was lit up by his former team earlier in the season, but he is 19-8-1 with a 2.06 GAA and .933 SV% on home-ice.
Reimer allowed seven goals on 34 shots in the Panthers loss in Winnipeg on February 18th. Roberto Luongo started the last five games but Reimer will start the tail-end of the back-to-back tonight vs. the Sabres. Since returning to the Panthers crease, Reimer has gone 2-1-0 with a 5.01 GAA and .854 SV% in three starts. Despite some recent struggles, Reimer does have an intriguing matchup tonight.
Bishop stopped five of six shots after replacing Kari Lehtonen in the Stars’ loss to the Jets on Saturday. The 31-year-old has gone 3-3-0 while posting a 2.95 GAA and .899 SV% in February. In his first start against the Flames, Bishop turned aside 34 of 38 shots in a 6-4 win in late-November.
Thompson has split his time between the AHL and NHL this season, picking up three goals and three assists (six points) in 24 games with the Blues. During his time with the Rampage, the 20-year-old has 18 points (8G / 10A) in 30 contests. He is expected to play on Sunday afternoon, but there’s no word on who he will replace.
Bishop had a terrible start against the Sharks on Monday, allowing four goals on just five shots before being pulled from the game. It was the second time in three starts that Bishop had to be relieved in favour of Kari Lehtonen. He’ll be hard-pressed to get his game back on track tonight, as he draws a difficult matchup in Anaheim.
Ennis was scratched in favour of Chris Stewart. Ennis has 13 points (5G/8A) in 51 games for the Wild this season.
Bishop had a disappointing game against the Canucks on Sunday, stopping just 16 of 20 shots before being pulled in favour of Kari Lehtonen. It was an unfortunate end to a strong stretch of games for Bishop, who had been 6-3-1 with a .934 SV% over his previous ten starts. He has a decent matchup tonight at home against the Blues.
Reimer missed five games with a groin injury before returning Friday night to serve as Harri Sateri’s backup against the Kings. Reimer had struggled before his injury, posting a 0.898 SV% over his last six starts. He draws a decent matchup tonight against the Oilers.
Bishop stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Stars win over the Rangers on Monday. Bishop hasn’t been great on the road this season, going 5-7-2 with a 3.09 GAA and .894 SV%. The 31-year-old has not lost to the Blackhawks this season, going 3-0-0 with a 1.62 GAA and .938 SV% in three games vs. Chicago.
Reimer has missed the last five games with a groin injury, but the emergence of Harri Sateri during his absence will have Reimer return in a back-up role. Reimer could get the nod in Edmonton next Monday.
Thompson played just 7:54 TOI in Buffalo on Saturday and will sit tonight with the Blues dressing seven defensemen and just 11 forwards. Thompson has recorded just six points (3G / 3A) in 23 games since being called up.
Reimer has missed the last four games and is 1.5 weeks into a “multiple week” timetable so he appears to be right on schedule. Reimer will likely need a couple of practices before he’s ready to return, but with Harri Sateri playing well they don’t need to rush him.
