The Dallas Cowboys will host the Detroit Lions in Week 6 at AT&T Stadium. This was the site of last year’s game between the two teams that was embroiled in controversy over a substitution penalty on a two-point conversion. The Cowboys eventually won that game 20-19, setting up a ‘revenge’ game for the Lions.

Dallas is still beat up along its defensive line, and this week Eric Kendricks, the Cowboys middle linebacker, will also miss the game. The Lions have a very effective running game with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, putting immense pressure on the Cowboys young linebackers.

Dak Prescott will need a clean game to keep pace with a strong Lions offense, and CeeDee Lamb will probably be the key ingredient in their attack. The Lions have struggled to contain the passing game on defense.

Here is the info for the game.

Tyler Seguin scored twice, Jake Oettinger made 33 saves in his 11th career regular-season shutout and the Dallas Stars beat the New York Islanders 3-0 on Saturday night.

Seguin shot a wrister from the high slot over Semyon Varlamov’s glove at 7:59 of the first period on a feed from behind the goal line by Mason Marchment.

Jamie Benn doubled Dallas’ lead midway through the second period, collecting a loose puck between the circles when neither Kyle Palmieri nor rookie Maxim Tsyplakov could maintain control and lifted it high into the net.

Seguin added an empty-net goal in the final minute.

Marchment also assisted on Seguin’s late goal, giving him four points in two games.

Oettinger’s career record in October games is now 11-1-1.

Varlamov stopped 24 shots.

Dallas defenseman Matt Dumba played only six first-period minutes because of a lower-body injury.

Takeaways

Islanders: The penalty kill was 2 for 2 after going 0 for 2 in Thursday’s opening 5-4 overtime loss to Utah and being ranked last in the NHL last season.

Stars: Benn and Seguin show no signs of slowing. Benn, 35, ranks second in career games played for the Minnesota-Dallas franchise with 1,114 while Seguin, 33, is eighth with 768.

Key moment

The Islanders nearly pulled within 2-1 five minutes into the third period. Bo Horvat, who scored in New York’s previous five games against Dallas including two overtime winners last season, was stoned by Oettinger at close range. Horvat hit the post later in the period.

Key stat

Less has been more — or at least enough — in terms of shots on goal for the Stars through two games. They were outshot 36-20 in Thursday’s 4-3 win at Nashville and were outshot 33-27 by the Islanders.

Up next

The Islanders will play the second game of a three-game road trip at Colorado on Monday night. The Stars host Seattle on Sunday night.
