Ben Bishop leaves on stretcher; Andrei Vasilevskiy up for Lightning

PITTSBURGH — Kris Letang avoided leaving Game 1 of the Eastern Conference on a stretcher. Ben Bishop wasn't so lucky.

A few minutes after Letang briefly left the game after a face-first trip into the boards courtesy of Ryan Callahan's arm, Bishop, Tampa Bay's Vezina finalist goalie, seriously injured his leg.
