Vasilevskiy Boltage (Tampa)

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop is listed as day-to-day with his lower-body injury, Lightning GM Steve Yzerman told the Tampa Bay Times today.

Bishop left Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins on a stretcher. The injury occurred at the 7:35 mark of the first period after the huge goalie crumpled awkwardly while trying to get back to his crease.

Andrei Vasilevskiy relieved Bishop and made 25 saves in a 3-1 win. Vasilevskiy will start Game 2.

"I feel really bad saying all this, but everyone's indefinite until they're told they can play," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said Saturday.

"Everything's been really good so far on Ben, much better news than the scene we saw what happened when he was carted off. As far as his playing status, I have no answer or no update for that yet."

Vasilevskiy played in 24 games for Tampa this season. He posted a 2.76 GAA and .910 save percentage.
