Detroit has cut ties with goaltender Ville Husso. Team officials confirmed yesterday that he’s been placed on waivers. Husso was signed to be Detroit’s starter two seasons ago, but has struggled, and was pulled early from Detroit’s opening game last week. Cam Talbot will slide into the top spot, with Alex Lyon as the backup.

NFL
The Lions bashed the Cowboys 47-9 yesterday. Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes, and David Montgomery ran for two scores. Jake Bates kicked four field goals. Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott – the highest-paid player in pro football – turned in one of the worst performances of his career, and was eventually benched in favor of back-up Cooper Rush.
It was a costly victory for Detroit. Pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson was carted off the field in the third quarter with a badly broken leg. He’ll need surgery to repair it, and will miss the rest of the season.
Detroit has inked running back David Montgomery to a two-year contract extension worth a reported $18.25 million, with $10.5 million guaranteed.
