Bishop Saves The Lightning

The Tampa Bay lightning weren't pleased when Anders Lindback wasn't performing well.  He cost the Lighting two second round draft picks.  So Steve Yzerman wen't and looked for another cheap goalie.  He ended up trading Cory Conacher and a second round draft pick to Ottawa, in exchange he received Ben Bishop.  Ben Bishop began his career with the St. Louis Blues, as he was drafted in the third round of the 2005 NHL entry draft.  Bishop played for their AHL team, in Peoria.  In 2012 Bishop was traded from St. Louis to Ottawa, in exchange for  a second round draft pick.  While he was in Ottawa he played 23 games, for the Senators.

The following year, during the trade dead-line, he was dealt to Tampa Bay.  He split time with Anders Lindback, but it was known he would start most of the games the following season.  



So far, Bishop is leading the league in wins, with 12.  And with Steven Stamkos injured, Bishops amazing play in net couldn't come at a better time for the Lightning.
