Marty Turco will not be re-signed by the Dallas Stars

compiled by the megasportsnews.com staff

Goaltender Marty Turco’s time in Dallas with the Stars is over. It’s hard to believe because he has been one of the players that has been the face of the franchise since he came into the league from the University of Michigan.

General manager Joe Nieuwendyk has said that the Stars will not re-sign Turco, a three-time All-Star who just completed his ninth season with the team.

Kari Lehtonen, acquired from Atlanta in February, will be the number goalie in the 2010-2011 season.

The 34-year-old Turco just completed a $22.8 million, four-year contract he signed in January 2006 that kept him from becoming a free agent at the end of  that season.

Turco holds the Stars franchise record with 509 games played as a goaltender, winning 262 games with a .911 save percentage and a 2.31 goals-against average. He had 40 shutouts.

In 2002-03, his first as the starting goalie, he set a modern NHL record with a 1.72 GAA, a mark that has since been broken.

Turco was 21-26 in the playoffs for the Stars, including four shutouts. Three of  those shutouts came in one series, in the first round of the 2007 playoffs against Vancouver when he had a .952 save percentage. The Stars were still knocked out in seven games.

In 53 games this season, Turco posted a 22-20-11 record. He had a .913 save percentage and a 2.72 GAA.
