DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Stars goalie Ben Bishop is ending his career because of degenerative condition in his right knee. Bishop has spent more than a year trying to get back while battling a knee that has bothered him since 2019. It’s not officially a retirement because Bishop is under contract through next season and plans to be around the team. Bishop last played in the NHL during the 2020 playoff bubble in Canada.
