Marty Turco has shown lately that he is still one of the best goalies in the game. The 32-year-old Turco got off to a slow start with the Renegades, with his save percentage falling way below the .900 mark. Brent Johnson, the backup goalie, was seeing a lot of extra on ice time than expected, while Turco was figuring out what the cause of his decline was. “I was unhappy with my numbers, and I knew my team was good enough to contend, and I felt like I was letting my team down” Turco told our reporters. That all changed now. Turco added to the Renegades winning streak by getting two back to back shutouts. Getting one shutout is great for a goalie, but two back to back, that’s a rare feet for any goalie. Turco stopped a total of 58 shots during the two games vs. the Phantoms and Sentinels. He was awarded the 1st star in both as the Renegades went on to win both games at a score of 4-0. Renegades captain Sidney Crosby told our reporters: “he’s a great goalie to have, and knows how to stop the puck in big games.” These two wins were big games, as they put the Renegades in position to win ten games in a row when the Freeze comes to face the Renegades on 2/13. Turco will not be in goal going for three shutouts in a row; Brent Johnson will give Turco a rest during the game so Turco can be ready for some of the more challenging games.
