NAHL | Ranking the Defensemen | Week 8

The rankings are figured using five statistical categories, top 20 defensemen in each category. This week, there were 62 defensemen that ended up ranked in the top 20 in at least one of the categories. Each were then ranked from 1 to 62 in each category. If players are tied statistically in any category, they will be given the same rank for that category. I then narrowed the rankings down to the top 20 defensemen per the best average rank across all statistical categories.

Note: The rank, not the number of actual points, goals, assists, etc., is shown for each player, each category.

PTS: Rank for Total Points (goals + assists)
G: Rank for Total Goals
A: Rank for Total Assists
+/-: Rank for Plus/Minus
PPP: Rank for Power Play Points
