PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Ben Bishop left Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night in the first period with an apparent injury to his left leg.
Bishop was scrambling to get back in the crease when his left leg appeared to get caught. The Vezina Trophy finalist clutched the leg while being tended to by trainers and was taken off the Consol Energy Center ice on a stretcher. He was replaced by backup Andrei Vasilevskiy.
Bishop began the series 8-2 during the postseason with a 1.89 goals-against average.
The Lightning lost center Tyler Johnson with a lower-body injury late in the first period when Johnson collided with Pittsburgh's Chris Kunitz.
