SHL 2018/9 - September Review - Part 3

14. Rögle BK

At the bottom of the table, the Ängelholm club are the victims of the second (SKE) and third (DIF) placed clubs' success, between them knocking 10 goals past Ville Kolppanen and Justin Pogge. That leaves these two keepers with the third and fourth worst SVS% in the league. But the club's problems are also at the other end of the ice where they have only found the net four times this season.

New signing Christopher Bengtsson (above) has made a great start as he steps up from the Allsvenskan, scoring half of the team’s goals. But they need their experienced import players, like Matt Anderson (2 NHL; 342 AHL matches) and Christian Thomas (27 NHL; 335 AHL matches), to start ringing the siren.

At the same time, the medics and rehab team need to give full attention to top Swedes, Jonas Ahnelöv and Mattias Sjögren so that they can get off the injury list to see the team climb up from the bottom step of the SHL.
