Stars' Ben Bishop: Slated for conditioning assignment

Bishop (knee) is expected to join AHL Texas on a conditioning assignment soon, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The minor-league Stars are in action versus AHL Chicago on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, so there could be plenty of opportunities for Bishop to play. How the netminder fits into Dallas' plan moving forward remains to be seen, but he should be in the mix for at least a share of the workload once deemed fully fit.
