1. Luleå HF
Luleå may not have started the season well, but rallied before the break to win five out of their last six matches. They even picked up a point in the match they lost as they went down to Växjö in Sudden Death. Jack Connelly seems to be enjoying himself once again moving to the club after four years at Rögle BK. The American is top of the points scoring for the team with 13 (5G+ 8A) coming eighth in the whole SHL in Total Points.
Meanwhile, older brother Petter can take bragging rights in the Emanuelsson household as the team's top goal scorer with five, whilst brother Einar is not far behind with three.
Furthermore, the club has two players who have caught the Swedish selectors' eyes. First, 20 year old defenseman Jesper Sellgren. Drafted by Carolina Hurricanes this summer he already has a Junior World Cup Silver medal to his name and is now playing his first season in the SHL having come through MODO Hockey as a junior (see picture). However for forward Emil Larsson, it will be the first opportunity on international duty after a breakout year for Luleå last year.
