Through the first three weeks of the 2022 Major League Soccer season, no player has been better than the Columbus Crew’s Lucas Zelarayan with three MLS Team of the Week honors. The Armenian international leads the league with four goals, six total goal contributions and 12 key passes. Zelarayan has four shots on goal out of nine shots and they’ve all gone in the net.
Those who gather weekly at Lower.com Field or watch the Crew on television when on the road have gotten used to Zelarayan’s brilliance the last two years. He was the MLS Newcomer of the Year in his first season and ended that year by not only lifting the MLS Cup, but also the championship game Most Valuable Player Award.
