Oliver Christensen - Heroic despite lossChristensen registered 11 saves and allowed five goals in Friday's 5-2 defeat to 1. FC Koln.

ImpactChristensen faced an absurd 16 shots and came away with 11 saves and a one-sided loss. Despite the nature of the loss it was another impressive showing from the first-year goalkeeper. Christensen sits on 95 saves through 32 matches with a leaky defense in front of him limiting his clean sheet upside heavily.

Lucas Tousart - Nets early equalizerTousart scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 5-2 defeat against 1. FC Koln.

ImpactTousart got in on the scoring early, drawing the match level early in the first half Friday. The midfielder did well to pounce on a bouncing ball, a strikers instinct that has earned him a career-high four goals through 31 appearances. The midfielder will never be a prolific goal-scorer, but the offensive touch he's shown adds some upside to his stable defensive production.

Stevan Jovetic - Scores FridayJovetic scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 5-2 loss against 1. FC Koln.

ImpactJovetic scored what proved to be little more than a consolation goal during Friday's one-sided loss. The forward actually took the lead with his early goal, but he was completely shut out past that point. Jovetic is up to four goals and two assists through 16 appearances (seven starts) in the Bundesliga.

Marvin Schwabe - Makes single stopSchwabe registered one save and allowed two goals in Friday's 5-2 win over Hertha Berlin.

ImpactSchwabe made a single save on three shots faced during Friday's rout. The goalkeeper had a tough day, but didn't need to do much as the team in front of him absolutely piled on the goals. Schwabe sits on six clean sheets through 32 starts, making 72 saves in that span.

Eric Martel - First assist in winMartel assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 5-2 victory versus Hertha Berlin. In addition, he was given...

ImpactMartel found his first Bundesliga assist during Friday's one-sided rout. The defensive midfielder has taken over a major role following the departure of Salih Ozcan to Dortmund, and has done well in that role. Martel is unlikely to ever be a major offensive producer, but he has done well to earn two goal contributions in 27 appearances, while adding major defensive volume.

Florian Kainz - Assists againKainz assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), 12 crosses (six accurate) and nine corners in Friday's 5-2 victory versus Hertha Berlin.

ImpactKainz assisted for the second match in a row to move to 15 goal contributions, a new career-high for the attacking midfielder. This has been a true breakout season for Kainz, who went from a bit-part producer in a major role to a truly prolific playmaker. Kainz is up to six goals and nine assists through 30 Bundesliga appearances (29 starts.)

Linton Maina - Produces pair of assistsMaina assisted twice to go with three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Friday's 5-2 victory versus Hertha Berlin.

ImpactMaina continued his assault on the Bundesliga now that he is back in the top flight, finding his ninth and 10th goal contributions with a pair of assists. The forward has taken a major role with 31 appearances (25 starts) and has rewarded it with three goals and seven assists while creating 35 chances. Maina will look to carry this red-hot form into the final two Bundesliga matches.
