Maine goaltender Ben Bishop has signed a pro contract with the NHL’s St. Louis Blues and will forego his senior season, team president John Davidson announced Tuesday. Bishop will join the AHL’s Peoria Rivermen for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

The 6-7, 210-pound netminder recorded a 13-18-3 record along with a 2.43 goals against average and a .920 save percentage in 2007-08 for Maine, which is done for the season after missing the Hockey East playoffs.<\/p>\n
