SHL - February Review - Färjestad

Färjestad BK are also a club find themselves at the top of the league because of a fantastic team effort, this time in front of goal. Top scoring defenseman in the league is their Finnish back, Jesse Virtanen who lies in an impressive sixth place overall. Amazingly, even those he has 30 assists on the season he does not top the league in that category. He lies in third in the SHL on assists behind the league's top two scorers, Frölunda's Ryan Lasch and Linköping's Derek Roy. Virtanen's teammates, 20 year old Boston Bruins drafted Oskar Steen and 26 year Joakim Nygård are also well placed on Total Points with the three of them separated by just three points. Meanwhile Nygård is league's top goal scorer with 20 on the season, alongwith Djurgården's Emil Bemström who was drafted in 2017 by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
