At the Rink: Lightning at Kings

The Tampa Bay Lightning will have goalie Ben Bishop available Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center (10 p.m. ET; SUN, FS-W).

Bishop left the Lightning's 4-3 win against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday with 11:10 left in the third period after he was hit in the mask and right eye by the stick of Sharks forward Tomas Hertl. Although Bishop experienced pain and blurred vision after the hit, his vision returned to normal after the game and there was no damage or scratches to the eye.

"Anytime you get hit in the eye like that, you always think the worst," Bishop told the Tampa Bay Times on Sunday. "You feel pretty fortunate, lucky nothing serious happened. Obviously it could have been a lot worse."

Bishop, who will visit an eye doctor when the Lightning return to Tampa Bay, will back up Andrei Vasilevskiy against the Kings.

At the Rink: Blackhawks at Kings

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane will attempt to set the record for most consecutive games with a point by an American-born player Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center (10:30 p.m. ET; WGN, FS-W).

Kane has a point in 18 straight games, tying him with Eddie Olczyk (Toronto Maple Leafs, 1989-90) and Phil Kessel (Boston Bruins, 2008-09). He has 10 goals and 19 assists during the streak, which began Oct. 17. Kane is three games from tying the Blackhawks record of 21 straight games with a point set by Bobby Hull in the 1971-72 season.

"You look at the players that are either American who have played the game or the two guys that are part of that record with Kessel and Olczyk and that's some pretty elite company," Kane said after the game Friday. "It's been a fun little ride here. It's something you try not to really think about."
