The NHL has named Dallas Stars goalie Marty Turco their co-Player of the

Turco led Dallas to first place in the Western Conference by posting a
3-0-0 record, a 0.33 goals-against average, .985 save percentage and two
shutouts. He started the week by shutting out the Buffalo Sabres 3-0 on
Mar. 31, and posted a 2-1 victory over the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim on Apr.
