Hello! It's time to review the DPS index, one week before the end of the regular phase of the current season. I remind you that you will see three classifications: first - sum of hits, takeaways and blocked shots; second - the same sum with the added balance of +/-; the third - team classification with the same sum, but without balance +/-.


Jean Bon from currently best team in league, St. Louis Scarecrows, successfully attacked first place, being currently the most productive defender in the league and jumping over the second currently Uwe Bindewald from Quebec City Citadelles. The podium is closed by Holeh Guacamoleh, whose Maine Timber had a very effective week, about which later, and the player himself stormed into the top ten. The most numerous are players of Anchorage Armada, who occupy the last two places in the top ten, and Kelowna Knights, who have been very active in defense since the beginning of the season.


There are no changes at the top, with Jean Bon now leading in two classifications, and Aartholomew Bittokallio Lorequavius just swapping places with Uwe Bindewald from Citadelles. The effectiveness of Knights and Scarecrows is confirmed once again, with three representatives in this classification. It is worth mentioning Zac Peters, who, while not a nominal defender, is in both classifications.


The Knights team was extremely productive this week and it seems that nothing can take away the title of the hardest-working team in defense. Behind them are Timber, who, as I mentioned earlier, put a lot of work into their defense, which paid off with the biggest advance in the classification this week. Similarly, Vancouver Whalers were very active, which resulted in a clear jump. Armada saved their place on the podium for now.
