Mattias Sjögren, Färjestad is the fourth candidate to be nominated. Earlier during the season Carl Söderberg, Joel Lundqvist and Jakob Silverberg has been nominated.

The motivation on the nomination is: "Mattias Sjögren, 24, made a come back in Färjestad in December and immediately became a lift for the reigning champions. Färjestad has won five out of six games since Sjögren returned. The hard working forward has grown from last year.
