SHL - February Review- Mid Table

The Playoff Fight: Sixth to Twelfth

Only 11 points separate the six teams in places six to twelve. That means the next five matches will be absolutely crucial in deciding who will have the "wildcard" positions of seven to ten inclusive and those who will be in 11th and 12th having qualified for the SHL next year without any post season action.

The majority of the teams in 6th to 11th have had a poor February winning only two or three matches. Nonetheless two 35 year olds with NHL experience, Linköping HC's Derek Roy (2G+3A) - above- and Skellefteå AIK's Joakim Lindström (3G+5A) continue to pick up points despite the team not winning games. That means they remain in second and third in Total Points respectively.
