Marco Turco
Dallas Stars
1.84 GAA, .923 save percentage in 2003 playoffs
Marty Turco played his most consistent game of the postseason, letting in only a bad-bounce goal off Richard Matvichuk's skate. Turco's flash of his left pad to rob Stanislav Chistov early in the third was his best stop of the playoffs.

Jere Lehtinen
Dallas Stars
2 goals, 0 assists, plus-1, 6 shots, 18:46 ice time, 27 shifts
As if being the best defensive forward in the world isn't enough, Jere Lehtinen is now one of the Stars' most clutch offensive players, too. Lehtinen's first two-goal playoff game since May 29, 1998 got Dallas back in the series.

Brad Richards
Tampa Bay Lightning
0 goals, 2 assists, plus-1, 1 shots, 20:18 ice time, 26 shifts
While Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier have carried the offense, Brad Richards has been an afterthought. But his no-look, short-side pass to St. Louis from behind the net was as pretty of a helper as any this postseason.
