2. Luleå HF
The team may have struggled this month, winning only half of their eight matches, but still own a high league standing after an excellent November.
They have had a tendency to run hot or cold, twice losing without finding the net and then winning three times by three or more goals.
Whilst 29 year old American, Jack Connelly continues to lead the team overall on Total Points, it has been his experienced Swedish teammates who have kept the team in the chase and they now lie only one point behind Frölunda. Leading by example in December it has been assistant captain and 32 year old, Niklas Olausson, with 9 points (5G+4A) for the Norrbotten club (pictured above). Consistency will be the change that is needed if 2019 is be a repeat if their only Swedish championship victory in 1996.
