**Hockey Week October 14: Växjö Lakers HC–Skellefteå AIK and IF Malmö Redhawks–Örebro HK**

Färjestad BK leads the league with four straight wins and goes in as favorite against Luleå HF, while Växjö Lakers, despite a rising form curve, sit in the middle of the table and are expected to have a tough time against a strong Skellefteå AIK. In the other matches, Malmö Redhawks have a slight edge over Örebro HK, where Örebro's weak defensive play points towards a high-scoring encounter.
