1) Frederik Andersen, Frölunda, Elitserien
Frölunda's goalie is the main reason why Frölunda leads Elitserien. In September he got 5 wins in 5 games. 2 shutouts and only 3 allowed goals.

2) Vadim Shipachev, Severstal, KHL
Schipachev scored 5 goals and 5 assists in only 5 games. A +6 rating (2nd in the league) and 2 game-winning goals gives him a great September record.

3) Scott King, Hannover, DEL
king scored goals 4 games in a row, including 2 game-winners.
His September stats: 5 GP, 4G+2A, 18 PIM, +2

4) Julien Sprunger, Fribourg-Gottéron, NLA
Sprunger scored 10 goals in 10 games (0 assists). That is more than a third of his team's goals (29).

5) Anthony Guttig, Dijon HC Les Ducs, Ligue Magnus
Guttig started the French season with impressive 7+1 points in 2 games!

6) Rene Swette, Klagenfurt, EBEL
He was supposed to be number two goalie this season, but after an injury to Andy Chiodo, he has stepped up and currently has over 95% save percentage, leading the EBEL goalie stats. One of the reasons Klagenfurt sits top of the league.

7) Tomas Zaborsky, Ässät Pori, SM-Liiga
He has now scored 7 goals in 8 games and is the leading goal scorer in Sm-liiga. Zabo has scored a goal in 5 consecutive games and has had a very big influence to Ässät's current 3rd place in the league. With his goals Ässät has won 5 games in a row (3 of them away).
