The 28-year-old netminder took part in the morning skate prior to Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Chicago Blackhawks, but the team instead started rookie Andrei Vasilevskiy in Wednesday’s 2-1 loss.
Vasilevskiy made 17 saves in Bishop’s absence while Kristers Gudlevskis served as the backup.
Bishop will have four days of rest before Saturday’s Game 5, but it remains unclear if he will return to action. He played the entire game during Tampa Bay’s 3-2 victory in Game 3 on Monday, but he appeared to be in pain throughout his 36-save performance.
He appeared to first suffer the injury in Game 2 of the series when he left the game in mysterious fashion during a television timeout with less than 12 minutes to play in the third period. He returned for a brief time before leaving that game for good.
There has been speculation Bishop was injured on this run-in with Antoine Vermette.
The Lightning and Blackhawks are tied 2-2 in the best-of-seven series.
