Gyasi Zardes - Takes two shots in loss Zardes took two shots (two on goal) during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Toronto FC.

Impact Zardes has yet to score this season but wasn't exactly the problem as shoddy defending resulted in two goals for the hosts. With Lucas Zelarayan still providing a high volume of chances, it shouldn't be much longer before Zardes gets on the scoresheet for the first time this season. Up next is a trip to New England, which have conceded six goals in five matches.
