Washington Stealth forward Jeff Zywicki was named Offensive Player of the Week. Zywicki totaled nine points on three goals and six assists in a closely contested 12-11 win at Colorado. Of Zywicki's three fourth-quarter assists, his last one came on the game-winner with just over a minute to go in regulation. Zywicki is currently leading the league with 35 points (13 Goals, 22 Assists).

Orlando Titans defenseman Greg Peyser was named Defensive Player of the Week. Peyser picked up 16 loose balls, won 12 of his 20 faceoffs, and tallied two assists in the Titans' 13-8 victory over the Rochester Knighthawks.

The Transition Player of the Week is Brodie Merrill of the Edmonton Rush. Merrill had one goal and two assists while picking up 18 loose balls in a 14-11 win over Calgary. He was also called on to take over for an injured Pat Jones on faceoffs, winning five of his seven draws.

Edmonton defenseman Brett Mydske was voted Rookie of the Week. Mydske picked up seven loose balls and scored two goals, the first of his NLL career, in the victory over Calgary.

The NLL weekly player awards are determined each week by a vote of the general managers and head coaches of the league's eleven member clubs.
