October is already upon us meaning the first month of the SHL is over. Even though it has only been five rounds there's lots to talk about all ready!
1. Linköping HC
Perhaps a surprise, but Linköping HC are top of the league at this early stage. The team from Östergötland have not lost a single game in regulation and have only lost once in overtime.
One of the most unexpected things about their success is that it is not their prestigious North American signings who making the headlines. Instead, 23 year old Nick Sörensen (5G) - see photo above, 18 year old Johan Södergran (4G+1A) and 23 year old Adam Brodecki (1G + 4A) are the Swedes leading the charge, whilst keeper Jonas Gustavsson leads the whole league with a SVS of 97.82%.
Later on today I’ll be looking at some of the other teams start to the season.
