AIK tied the club record

A 4–2 win over Almtuna gave AIK their tenth straight three-point victory in HockeyAllsvenskan, tying the club record.

WE HEARD THAT TOO

Ten straight three-point wins is no ordinary hot streak. AIK have built a run that the rest of HockeyAllsvenskan will surely want to stop quickly.

Blackhawks prospects producing in Sweden

DraftPro highlights Joel Svensson’s 15 points in 11 HockeyAllsvenskan games and William Sorbrand’s 11 points in 12 U20 Nationell games as the Chicago Blackhawks’ most productive prospects so far this year.

WE HEARD THAT TOO

Two different player profiles delivering strong returns: a productive center in senior hockey and a big power forward producing in the junior league. Worth keeping an eye on.

An SSK supporter points to late dropped points against AIK, IK and Kalmar, and feels their opponents are able to maintain a higher tempo for longer.

AIK chasing club record after winning streak

AIK have matched a historic winning streak and are one victory away from setting a new club record. According to the team, harder practices are behind their form. Games feel easier now.

WE HEARD THAT TOO

When practices are described as tougher than games, AIK have clearly found both confidence and a strong day-to-day standard. A streak worth watching in HockeyAllsvenskan.

AIK is rolling. Ten straight

AIK's winning streak has now reached ten games. Benjies Hockeyblogg also singles out Rolston as a signing who has worked out well.

Ten straight cannot be brushed aside. AIK is one of the hottest teams in HockeyAllsvenskan, and Rolston looks to have given the push an extra boost.

Forward Neo Nordstrand Jansson is in AIK’s senior-team lineup and will make his HockeyAllsvenskan debut. The 18-year-old is described as a powerhouse.

The league leaders can afford to give youth a shot. Now we’ll see whether Nordstrand Jansson can do more than just get a taste of the pace at senior level.

BIK fans make their feelings known after sixth straight loss

Six straight defeats prompted Karlskoga supporters to direct sharp criticism at the team: “Take a look in the mirror. We demand more.” Hockeysverige captured the protest and the captain’s response.

WE HEARD THAT TOO

This is more than the usual grumbling after a loss. When the fans in the stands talk about the players not being allowed to “kill” something, it is about pride, identity and a relationship that has begun to seriously fray.

SSK and Djurgården reportedly pursuing Tim Heed

Tim Heed could be on his way back to Sweden. According to reports, both Södertälje and Djurgården have shown interest, with SSK said to want to sign the defenseman regardless of which league they play in next season.

Bringing Tim Heed home would be a major prestige signing. And SSK’s interest says plenty about the club’s ambitions for next season.
