The first weekend in March has come and gone leaving just five matches left in the regular season for men's hockey here in Sweden.
For the first time since December there is daylight between the top ten teams as the battle for playoff places hots up and there is now 28 points between first and twelfth.
The Top Three
Three teams are at the top with only six points between them - Luleå HF, Färjestad BK and Frölunda Indians.
Luleå HF have won nine matches in a row and rarely allow more than one goal against them allowing keeper, Joel Lassinantti (above) rise to the top of the netminder's competition with 93.15 SVS%. Their top scorer, Assistant Captain, Niklas Olausson may is only 18th on Total Points so if they can remain at the top this will count as be the ultimate team victory. If they hold on they will be the first team in the Swedish hockey history to win the women's and men's league in the same season.
