DALLAS (AP) — Ben Bishop was so solid in net it didn't matter that the Dallas Stars were held under two goals for the fifth time in six games.
Jamie Benn scored in the first period and Bishop stopped 30 shots to help Dallas beat the Buffalo Sabres 1-0 on Wednesday night.
"As the game progressed, I thought (Bishop) got better and better," Stars coach Jim Montgomery said. "In the third, he was our best player and he had to be and he really broke pucks out really well."

Throwing a 14-yard dart to complete his first pass, Mayfield replaced an injured Tyrod Taylor and rallied the Browns from a two-touchdown deficit for a 21-17 win over the New York Jets to end Cleveland's 19-game winless streak — the NFL's second-longest in 48 years.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Taylor Sheridan has a knack for finding and telling stories about parts of the American frontier that Hollywood doesn't dare touch. The Texas native brought audiences to the U.S.-Mexico border in "Sicario" and to shattered West Texas in "Hell or High Water" through his visceral screenplays.

HOUSTON (AP) — Taylor Swift has written hit songs for herself for years, but she recently lent her talent to others, from former boyfriend Calvin Harris to country act Little Big Town.
And now Grammy-winning country group Lady Antebellum wants the Swift-song treatment.
