Stars' Bishop out for next 2 games after suffering lower-body injury

Dallas Stars goaltender Ben Bishop suffered a lower-body injury in the first period of Monday's game against the Ottawa Senators, the team announced, and he did not return.

Following the game, head coach Ken Hitchcock said Bishop won't play Tuesday or Friday, according to Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News.

Bishop appeared to hurt himself when defenseman Dan Hamhuis fell on him.

Kari in net to start the second period. Injury probably occurred here when Hamhuis fell on Bishop while he was tied up with Pageau. Questionable to return with a lower body injury. pic.twitter.com/Zh9q5si0Ee
