Who got no votes

The most productive player of the round was Michal Maličký of Lions, who scored two goals and set up the third (2+1) in the 3:1 win over Trnava Beast. He received no vote. Round 7 in RAHL2 was short on goals – seventeen in four games – and apart from Maličký and Babela nobody had more than one point.
