Linköping HC
Linköping HC look unlikely to able to compete for another final this year, with only three regulation wins out of eight matches. However, they can rest content in having the league's top goal scorer and points-getter Kennedy Marchment. The 21 year old Canadian has gain 11 goals and 4 assists since moving from the American NCAA College league this summer.
Import players and the national team
The Swedish Women's Hockey League continues to impress but new developments this year may have the Swedish national selectors worried. Only five of the top 20 in Total Points are Swedish. The best placed Swede is only in tenth place, Anna Borgqvist of Leksand IF. Her teammate, Hanna Sköld, is the only one of the five Swedes who is under 25 and she currently lies in 20th place.
On the goalkeeping front things are not much better. Only five of the top 11 keepers are from Sweden, the nation that ended as disappointing seventh in the recent Pyeongchang Olympics earlier this year. Worrying times on the national front even as the domestic league prospers.
