Bishop (lower-body) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.
Bishop has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but “may be ready to go tomorrow” after practicing Thursday. Even if he plays, Bishop has just three points (1G / 2A) in 20 games while averaging just 9:27 TOI/gm, so he has no fantasy value.
Bishop left Thursday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return.
Bishop left the game in Philadelphia after playing just 2:15 TOI and is questionable for Friday’s game against the Blue Jackets. Greg McKegg was recalled from Charlotte (AHL) and would play if Bishop can’t go.

The Hurricanes have assigned Clark Bishop to Charlotte (AHL).
