Welcome back to SPNHL Players of the Week for Season 40. I apologize for missing week 2, as Plisk and I had a bit of miscommunication and we couldn’t get an article out in time. So instead, we’re just going to combine week 2 and week 3 into one article edition. We have had a great season so far, and in my opinion, the East is clearly the better division. However, there is tremendous talent in both conferences, so without further ado, let’s see who stood out amongst the rest in week 2 and 3. 

Forwards: 

AAli-21: 18 GP, 33 G, 38 A, 71 P, 4.4 PPG, +31, 190 GV, 53 TK, 112 INT

Literally playing every single minute for the Flyers in the past 2 weeks, Ali stood out above the rest of the forwards in week 2 and 3. Playing all 18 games for the Flyers, Ali had 33 goals and 38 assists, good enough for a 4.4 point per game, and first in points for forwards in the past 2 weeks. The clear leader on the ice for the Flyers, if the Flyers are going to go on a cup run in a tough Eastern conference, Ali will need to perform. 

Honorable Mentions: 

WARDO_05: 12 GP, 19 G, 40 A, 59 P, 4.9 PPG, +26, 107 GV, 56 TK, 83 INT

ttommyboii: 18 GP, 33 G, 36 A, 69 P, 3.8 PPG, +29, 273 GV, 55 TK, 89 INT

Fluri37: 13 GP, 19 G, 31 A, 50 P, 3.8 PPG, +25, 312 GV, 53 TK, 132 INT

Defence: 

kidmon3y: 18 GP, 4 G, 15 A, 19 P, 1.1 PPG, +27, 51 GV, 46 TK, 9 INT.

Kidmoney has had an outstanding season so far for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and is a huge reason as to why the Penguins currently sit 3rd in a stacked Eastern conference. Tallying 4 goals and 15 assists in the past 2 weeks, what put Kid above the rest in my mind was the fact that he had great offensive production, and still was safe with the puck. He almost had a 1:1 ratio just based on giveaway and takeaways alone. The Penguins are going to need Kid to keep up his tremendous season, as they are going to be in for tough battles in the coming weeks.

Honorable Mentions:
MPurch: 18 GP, 2 G, 19 A, 21 P, 1.2 PPG, +7, 110 GV, 41 TK, 118 INT.

captstalechips: 15 GP, 1 G, 15 A, 16 P, 1.1 PPG, +26, 66 GV, 28 TK, 88 INT.

Aetherxal: 13 GP, 3 G, 8 A, 11 P, 0.8 PPG, +26. 73 GV, 46 TK, 126 INT.

Goalie:

chadkillz124: 18 GP, 12-6, .815 SV%, 3.06 GAA, 2 SO.

Chad had an incredible 2 week performance again, and while not up to his usual expectations of himself, he still outperformed the rest of the goaltenders in the league. With a 12-6 record and a .815 save percentage, Chad will now hopefully settle down in his new home and get used to his friendly faces as teammates. The SP community knows Chad is the goaltender to look out for in a game or a playoff series, as if any one man can steal a game or series, it’s Chad.
