As November rolls in, the players in the SHL will take a two week break to make space for the international Karjala Cup in Finland. That gives us a chance to look at what has happened over the last month in Sweden's top division.
Färjestad BK (4th)
Just as few expected Örebro to lead the league, so another surprise awaits as we look at the Total Points table. It is lead by undrafted Färjestad player, Marcus Nilsson. The 28 year old Swede has matured slowly earning his place in the Karlstad club after five years grinding out a pro career, primarily in the Allsvenskan with BIK Karlskroga.
For three years at Färjestad he has put up figures of just 0.50 PPG, but this year the magic in starting to happen and he is now leading the league in Total Points with 20 points (5G+15A) in 16 games - that is 1.25 PPG!
