In the Swedish Elitserien, SUNDBYBERG reduced the gap to leader TRANAS last week to two games. On Saturday the HEAT host the first-ranked club in the country and could move into a tie for first with a sweep. The teams in second and fourth, STOCKHOLM and KARLSKOGA, also meet for a doubleheader. LEKSAND and RÄTTVIK conclude the game day in Sweden, hoping to make a last run for fourth with three weeks left on the top-six schedule.
