Bishop still on track to NHL
Three seasons.
That’s how long Ben Bishop figured it would take until he had his chance to shine with the St. Louis Blues.
He had played 121 AHL games with the Peoria Rivermen and he had finished the 2010-11 season with the best numbers of his career. He had a taste of the NHL and even picked up his first shutout with the big club in February.
