The one player Tampa Bay can least afford to lose had to leave its game on Tuesday just seven minutes into the game.

With the playoffs just a week away this is the last thing the Tampa Bay Lightning need right now.

Starting goalie Ben Bishop had to leave their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs less than seven minutes into the game on Tuesday after he dove to catch a floating puck and awkwardly landed on his left wrist.

The only update from the Lightning at this point is that Bishop is out with an upper body injury and he will not return  to the game on Tuesday.

In 62 games this season Bishop has a .924 save percentage which is good enough for seventh best in the league. He was replaced on Tuesday by backup Anders Lindback. The gap between the two goalies this season has been significant as Lindback has an .878 save percentage in 20 appearances this season, by far the worst mark of any goalie that has appeared in at least 20 games this season (Islanders goalie Kevin Poulin is next at .891).
