Created: February 16, 2009, 11:56 AM

Marty Turco and the Stars are playing well.

It's an all-out race for the final few playoff spots in the NHL's Western Conference, as seven teams on the brink are within three points of one another.

The Dallas Stars have been making the biggest charge of all, going 7-3 in their past 10 games. They aren't the only ones making waves, however. The Nashville Predators and Los Angeles Kings, while currently out of the playoff picture, are also making a big push, playing well despite tough competition.
