Will Vezina candidate return to form?
Ben Bishop had a Game 1 to forget, but he'll get another chance to prove he's Vezina-calibre this afternoon.
The big netminder – named a Vezina Trophy finalist on Wednesday – is expected to draw the start in Game 2 after the Islanders torched him for four goals on 13 shots in the series opener.
The Bolts' Erik Condra, who left Game 1 with an upper-body injury, is listed as day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game but the team will continue to be without defenceman Anton Stralman (broken fibula). Stralman's earliest return to action would be in the later stages of the series vs. New York.
Neither player skated in Friday's practice.
To avoid confusion today is a full skate, McGinn and Koekkoek among them, no Stamkos, Stralman, Condra, Blunden
