Exciting last round of Elitserien

Skellefteå leads Elitserien before the last round, one point ahead of chasing HV71 and Färjestad. Skellefteå has a big advantage as they finish the regular season with a home game against Linköping - a team in the middle of the standings with poor form and not much to play for. HV71 has an away game to Södertälje who must win to be sure not to end up in Kvalserien, the relegation round. Färjestad will play Brynäs at home and should win because Brynäs, like Linköping, are stuck in the middle and the points from this game wouldn't mean much for them.

At the bottom new-comers AIK are in the 8th place - the last Quarter Final place. AIK has 2 points more than Södertälje and Frölunda who keep the 9th and 10th spots. The teams who finish 9th and 10th will be done for the season after today´s game. No playoffs - no relegation games. Below the line that takes you to Kvalserien against four teams from HockeyAllsvenskan are Modo and Timrå. Modo and Timrå are only one point behind Södertälje and Frölunda so a playoff spot could even be possible, at least for Modo who has a decent goal difference.

Today´s games in the last round:
Luleå-Frölunda
Skellefteå-Linköping
Färjestad-Brynäs
AIK-Modo
Timrå-Djurgården
Södertälje-HV71
