Lightning doing just fine since Bishop went down (Yahoo Sports)

Andrei Vasilevskiy has played six straight games since goalie Ben Bishop went down with a lower-body injury on Dec. 20, and the Tampa Bay Lightning are 4-1-1 since then heading into a home game against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. "Vasy is getting better and better and better, and that's what you like to see," Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said of his 22-year-old, who has played as Bishop's backup for the last two seasons. Winnipeg (17-19-3) has less momentum entering its first game of 2017, having taken a 5-3 loss to Columbus and a 6-2 loss to the New York Islanders in its last two games as it opens a three-game road trip that includes a back-to-back with Tampa and the Florida Panthers.
