EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The Giants defence will look vastly different against the Cowboys Sunday than it did a month ago in the teams first meeting in Dallas.With as many as six new starters because of injuries, the Giants could have its hands full with Tony Romos favourite targets.Injured cornerback Prince Amukamara is no longer in the secondary and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is still working through problems with his back and hamstring.Because of his Rodgers-Cromarties tenuous playing status, Jayron Hosley and Chykie Brown may have to alternate responsibilities guarding Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant. Despite the big-play wideout catching nine balls for 151 yards against Amukamara, the cornerback kept him out of the end zone while recording seven tackles, an interception, and two pass breakups.Whether Rodgers-Cromartie can duplicate that effort depends on how much he plays. He only participated in 15 snaps the first time around and its uncertain how hell hold up Sunday night.There are times he has to come out of the game. The matchup part of it, wed love to have him stay in, Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.Rodgers-Cromartie said he plans to be aggressive against the speedster who leads the Cowboys with 56 catches for 793 yards and eight touchdowns.Youve got to get a little animated out there, Rodgers-Cromartie said. Hes going to talk back. Hes a tough customer. Youve just got to cover him for as long as you can.How long is the question. Once Rodgers-Cromartie steps into the secondary, he is there to stay until his back or hamstring tighten and he takes himself out of the game. Bryant will likely be left to Brown while the starter rests.Im very confident in Brown, defensive co-ordinator Perry Fewell said of the played picked up on waivers earlier this month. Hes done a nice job for us since hes been here. Very good student in the classroom. Loves the challenge.The issues dont stop with Rodgers-Cromartie, however. Zack Bowman has taken over for Amukamara, and Jameel McClain has moved into middle linebacker for Jon Beason. With Jacquian Williams sidelined with a concussion, Mark Herzlich has started at weak side linebacker. And Mike Patterson probably will replace Cullen Jenkins as he battles a calf strain.Mathias Kiwanuka has also been taking limited snaps because of a knee sprain.Those changes might create numerous opportunities not only for Bryant, but for running back DeMarco Murray, who rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting and tight end Jason Witten.The spotlight, however, will be on Rodgers-Cromarties matchup with the Cowboys game-breaking receiver.DRC is going to give us everything he has, safety Antrel Rolle said. Thats all we can ask of him at this moment.NOTES: OL Geoff Schwartz continued to make strides in his comeback from a dislocated toe, but it remained unclear where he would play Sunday against the Cowboys. Right tackle Justin Pugh (quads) remained out of practice, and it is possible Schwartz could take his spot. But Coughlin said the Giants considered him more of a guard. He could also move to left guard to allow rookie Weston Richburg to replace the faulty J.D. Walton at centre. But Schwartz said right tackle duty would not pose a major problem for him. Playing on the right side, Ive done it so long that I know how to use my hands better, said Schwartz, who played nine games at right tackle for Carolina in 2009 and 2010. I dont think about it. You just gotta go play.... DT Cullen Jenkins (calf) and LB Jacquian Williams (concussion) did not practice. Williams did do some running on the side. Cody Eakin Jersey .

On Thursday night, the Senators benefited from the Tampa Bay Lightnings misfortune and walked away with a 5-3 win. While the Lightning were disappointed by their performance, they were more concerned with their star goaltenders well being. Ben Bishop, who has been nothing short of outstanding for Tampa this season, was injured in the opening minutes of the game and did not return. "I had a little bit of a headache, but its gotten better as the game went on," said Bishop. "Hopefully Ill wake up (Friday) and feel better and be able to practice." Bishop, who was playing his first game in Ottawa since being traded to the Lightning last April, came way out of his net to play the puck and ended up getting kicked in the head by teammate Nikita Kucherov. The goalie lay on the ice motionless, silencing the 19,757 on hand before he was able to leave the game on his own volition. "It was very disappointing," said Bishop. "Its almost sad. I was happy to be back and excited to play and then that happens right away." On the same play, the Senators Marc Methot scored into a wide-open net picking up his fifth of the season for a career high. Erik Karlsson, Zack Smith, Kyle Turris and Bobby Ryan also scored for the Senators (24-20-10) as Craig Anderson stopped 35 shots. The win allowed the Senators, with 58 points, to move into a tie with the Columbus Blue Jackets for the eighth and final playoff spot, but the Blue Jackets hold the tie-breaker with more wins (27). "You have to take care of the games you have and we did that (Thursday)," said Ryan. "If you dont, youre going to be on the outside looking in and thats not where we want to be." Alex Killorn, Tyler Johnson and Victor Hedman scored for the Lightning (31-18-5), who have now lost two straight. Anders Lindback faced 28 shots. "It was a tale of two different teams," said Tampa coach Jon Cooper. "The one thing that concerned me was we didnt play desperate. Theres one thing about competing really hard, but we just didnt seem to have that desperation. Whether that was becausee of the way the game started, but at some point you have to turn the page.ddddddddddddquot; Ottawa made it 2-0 with 25 seconds remaining in the period as Jason Spezza took a stretch pass from Milan Michalek, froze the Lightning defence, and found Karlsson all alone in front of a wide-open net. The Lightning cut the lead in half as Killorn beat Anderson cleanly, but it wasnt enough as the Senators went on to score two more by the end of the period to take a 4-1 lead after 40 minutes. Smith made it 3-1 as he grabbed a loose puck at the side of the net, moved in front and put a shot off the crossbar that bounced off Lindback and in. Turris then picked up his 18th late in the period as Ryan fought off Victor Hedman and left the puck back for Turris who buried it. Ryan made it 5-1 early in the third as he picked up his team-leading 20th of the season. It was his first goal in six games. "You hope therell be a domino effect (from the goal) and I can move forward with it," said Ryan. Johnson made it 5-2 scoring shorthanded late in the third. Tampa pulled Lindback with over three minutes remaining in regulation and made the most of the man advantage as Hedman made it 5-3. The Lightning made the final minutes exciting as they kept Lindback on the bench, but were unable to complete the comeback. "I thought we battled really hard in the last few minutes," said St. Louis. "I guess the desperation came in too late I guess." In addition to losing Bishop, the Lightning also lost leading scorer Valterri Filpulla early in the second. Filpulla returned briefly, but then left the game with a lower body injury. Cooper had no update on Filpulla and said he would be re-evaluated Friday. Notes: LW Milan Michalek picked up his 200th career NHL assist on Ottawas second goal. D Chris Phillips missed his second straight game with a lower body injury. D Joe Corvo and LW Matt Kassian were healthy scratches for Ottawa. D Keith Aulie and C Tom Pyatt were healthy scratches for the Lightning. With an assist on the Lightnings third goal Martin St. Louis, with 965 career points, moved into a tie with Maurice Richard for 85th place in the NHLs all-time scoring leaders. It was also St. Louis 600th NHL assist.
