Djurgården forward Noel Gunler has been suspended for two games for charging Brynäs goalie Erik Källgren. The suspension is the first of the season in the SHL (Sweden's top ice hockey league).
SportsDjurgården forward Noel Gunler looked set to be a hero against Brynäs, but instead became a scapegoat after receiving a match penalty. The home team equalised and then scored the winner in overtime, 3-2.

SportsThe Finnish goalkeeper star Jarmo Myllys became an icon in Luleå after the SM gold in 1996. Now the hidden talent Matteus Ward, 23, can step up to the same gold level. He is in a division of his own, says Ward about the comparison.
SportsBrynäs equalized the SM final series against Luleå after great drama. Jakob Silfverberg scored the match-winning goal in the 5–3 victory – after Brynäs had previously surrendered a three-goal lead. "We're showing incredible strength," says Silfverberg to TV4.
SportsScoring king so far in the playoffs – in the third SM final, he stepped forward as a goal scorer. Defender Frédéric Allard struck with a hat-trick when Luleå crushed Brynäs, 5–1. I don't know what's happening, but I have no problem with it, says Allard to TV4.

SportsFour debutants are included when Three Crowns start the season ahead of the home World Championship. But top scorer Axel Sandin Pellikka, Skellefteå, is missing.
