While it's uncertain when Lightning goalie Ben Bishop will return, coach Jon Cooper is "optimistic" it'll be during this Eastern Conference Final.
Bishop, who missed Game 2 Monday with a lower left leg injury suffered in Friday's Game 1, has yet to take part in a team practice since. And there's no skate scheduled today upon the Lightning's arrival back from Pittsburgh.
But Cooper said the schedule shouldn't impact the return of Bishop, who is considered day to day. Bishop would still likely need to be part of a team practice/skate before resuming game action, meaning Andrei Vasilevskiy is likely to start Wednesday's Game 3.
