– Best forward was Alexander Khokhlachyov (Spartak), who in only two matches tallied 6 (4+2) points – the best total of any player in the League over the past seven days. The 24-year-old Russian attacker's haul included a hat-trick against Severstal;
– Best rookie was 18-year-old Dinamo Riga forward Emils Gegeris, who was given three outings, two of which were on the road, and finished the week with 3 goals, 9 shots, and an average ice time of 10 minutes 19 seconds.
