Fourth and Fifth
In fourth and fifth place Växjö Lakers and Djurgården IF are separated by only one point. Växjö may not be the convincing team they were last year, but a successful month has seen them win six out eight matches. They can thank two Canadians for this, first, last year's top signing, toughman, Brendan Shinnimin who gained 8 points (4G+4A) and then new signing, Kris Versteeg. The 32 year old has only played for the current champions for eight games, but was their top scorer in February with nine points (3G+6A). With two Stanley Cups with Chicago Redhawks and 653 NHL games under his belt, Växjö has signed one of the most talented and experienced players currently playing in the SHL in the run up to the Playoffs and are hoping he can help the team to a back to back Le Mat Trophy victory.
Djurgården IF has had a difficult month with only three victories out of eight will need to find that "little extra" in the postseason if they are going to get to the semifinals as they did last year.
