I believe these are for the regular season, should have collected them before yesterday’s match. MLRStats on Instagram, run by JamDelay, posts their own unofficial stats from match reports and the league’s analytics, so I may make another post highlighting those stats.

Utah has players very high in several of these categories. Gives some indication of how tight the race for the playoffs was in the west since they didn’t make it in despite some stellar player performances.
Yeah, if Chicago hadn’t upset Utah in Round 17 the may very well have taken the #3 spot in Round 18 with Houston losing to the Free Jacks. Then again Houston would have played a very different lineup in Round 18 if Utah hadn’t been eliminated.
