Ben Bishop, goaltender for the Tampa Bay Lightning, will be going against the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Friday night.

Bishop and the Lightning are clearly a team capable of defeating the Oilers, as Edmonton has had struggles almost all season that were happening last year.

Although Edmonton's struggles this season are no where near as bad as last season, Bishop and the Lightning should have an impressive showing against the Oilers.

Tonight will be the first time this season that these two teams have met in a matchup. Last season, each of these teams won their home game against each other, each game ending with a 3-2 final score.

In his NHL career against Edmonton, Bishop has played five games with three wins and oner regulation loss, and one game where he was not credited with a loss. Bishop has a .941 save percentage against the Oilers, along with a 1.98 Goals Against Average against the team. Those may not be the best stats against a single team in a career, but they are certainly not the worst either.

The Oilers are currently last place in the Pacific Division, currently with 37 points.

Although Bishop has lost four of his last five games, he should still rebound and defeat one of the NHL's struggling franchises.
