Jefferson Savarino - 8 Savarino was really fun to watch in this one. He had five shots, four on target, a goal, and an assist. He was an obvious threat that the opposition simply could not contain.

Justin Meram - 7 Meram created chance after chance in this one and was rewarded with two assists.

Maikel Chang - 6 Chang got the hockey assist which is probably some sort of soccer god make-up call for other assists he was strangely denied.
