After having a week without a game, the New York Atlas are looking to come back this week and face the Utah Archers. The Atlas are currently the best team in the league, but with an upset and a Boston win, that could change.
The Atlas have dominated the PLL for the entirety of the season, only losing two games so far. They also lead the league in scores per game (15.5), shot percentage (33.7%), assists (68), and power play percentage (47.4%). Jeff Teat has been a powerful player this season with 28 assists and 23 goals. He continues to be an offensive leader for the Atlas putting up points every game.
The Atlas also have strong players like Trevor Baptiste and Connor Shellenberger. Baptiste leads the league in ground balls (88) and has a face-off percentage of 66%. Shellenberger has started his rookie year strong with 25 points and 14 goals. With Baptiste able to get possession of the face-off and powerful offensive weapons, it could be a fairly one-sided game.
The Utah Archers can put up a good fight with goalie Brett Dobson and midfielders Tom Schreiber and Grant Ament. They currently sit fourth in the league, and coming off of a loss, it may be the motivation they need to take down the top team in the leagu
