The Tampa Bay Lightning announced on Wednesday that the team will be shutting down goaltender Ben Bishop for at least the remainder of the regular season and potentially into the playoffs. Bishop was injured in the Lightnings 3-0 win on Tuesday night over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Early in the first period, the 27-year-old fell awkwardly on his left arm after getting his legs tangled up in an attempt to retrieve a puck. Bishop left the game and was spelled by Anders Lindback. Bishop suffered a similar injury earlier this season. On January 5, he hurt his wrist during practice and aggravated the injury later that night in a game against the Edmonton Oilers. He was diagnosed with a sprain and missed a week of action. Bishop had an MRI following Tuesday nights injury, but Lightning coach Jon Cooper says that no structural damage was detected. Cooper didnt rule out Bishop appearing "at some point" in the first round of the Atlantic Division playoffs for the Lightning in a likely match-up with the Montreal Canadiens. The Denver native is a leading Vezina candidate with a record of 37-14-1, a GAA of 2.23, a .924 save percentage and five shutouts. To replace Bishop on the active roster, the team has recalled goaltender Kristers Gudlevskis from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League.

Richard Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger asked Martin Brodeur if he would be surprised if Devils GM Lou Lamoriello approached him about waiving his no-trade clause. The 41-year-old is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. "No, not at all," Brodeur told The Star-Ledger on Tuesday. "Its within the teams rights to try and make themselves better. The fact is, I have the luxury to decide what I want to do. I hope if he (Lamoriello) is able to help the team, hell ask, regardless of what it is. Its definitely something that is possible." So which was it? TVA Sports reported Monday night that Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin turned down a trade offer from Colorado that would have seen winger Rene Bourque go the Avalanche and P.A. Parenteau head to the Habs. The networks website adds that negotiations between both teams are ongoing. However, RDS hockey reporter and TSN contributor Francois Gagnon reports it was the other way round - that the Avalanche rejected the offer from the Canadiens. Parentteau, 30, and Bourque, 32, are under contract through the 2015-16 season, with Parenteau carrying a $4 million cap hit and Bourque with a $3.dddddddddddd.3 million cap hit. Nothing Wild on Miller With rumours of Ryan Miller possibly going to Minnesota, TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie tweeted on Monday that he believes the Wild will stand pat on goaltending until at least the Olympic break. "FWIW, and things can always change, as of now, I dont believe Minnesota is close to any deal with anyone," he wrote. "Wild may require a goalie if Harding is out long term but with only five games left before the Olympic break, (theyre) likely to ride it out until then to get clearer read on status. "I dont doubt Buffalo intends to trade Ryan Miller, but I dont sense anything is necessarily imminent, even though rumours seem to be rampant. "I hate tweeting something NOT close because landscape shifts quickly - one phone call can do it - and if so, all I can do is look is wrong. But my best information is Minnesota isnt close on anything and Buffalo is working to move Miller but nothing imminent. As of this moment anyway." Buy Mode in Newark With five weeks remaining before the trade deadline, Rich Chere of NJ.com writes that the Devils are looking for a linemate on the left side for Travis Zajac and Jaromir Jagr and perhaps a veteran defenceman.
