Complete Shuffle

Only two teams did not change their position in the standings this week. Eight of the 14 teams who shuffled around moved at least one spot, with the most noticeable being Calgary. The Wranglers started the season undefeated in their first 11 games. Since then, they've only won ten and dropped to 9th overall. Prague remains at the bottom with three wins in 37 games.

One of the notable risers this week is the D.C. Dragons. They are climbing their way up the standings, trying to make a claim for one of the remaining playoff spots in the North American Conference.

Watching and Waiting

The Bratislava Watchmen made the biggest jump in the standings over the last 14 games. It seems they are waiting for their moment to pounce on the leading Cologne Express. The Watchmen's top players are playing their best hockey of late, continuing to dominate on the weekly leaderboards. They still have a bit of a climb to catch the Express, but they've definitely earned their second place position.

 

Overtime Woes

Despite being one of the two teams with a positive goal differential, the Rome Gladiators are struggling to finish. They have gone to overtime six times this season and have failed to convert on all six. This is the difference between their current 4th place standing and 2nd. If the Gladiators want to contend for the Renaissance Cup, they're going to have to find a way to overcome this issue.

 

Rookie's Season

The top four points leaders at the end of this week are all rookies. Pierre Marc Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito, Maverick Goncalves @leandrofg, Andrew Skilton @ace_five_, and Jillian Woods @jacobcarson877 are making waves in their first season with their respective teams. It is going to be interesting to see where these four end up in the second half of the season.

Status Quo

The standings remained almost completely intact from last week. The teams at the top are winning, the teams at the bottom are not. The points gap between the two groups (1st-6th and 7th-10th) continues to grow each week, now sitting at 17. The third and fourth place teams in the Eastern Conference, are set to be at a huge disadvantage in the playoffs.
