Bouveng himself has scored 46 points (24 + 22) in 28 games this season, which was enough for a nice sixth place in the basic series of points.

The main "non-Brynäsaren" was now knocked out Sydney Brodt (Linköping) on ​​56 points.

Still, she was not even close to the points queen Lara Stalder who played on her own level with 89 (!) Points divided into 34 goals and 55 assists in 33 matches.

A polish of her own points record (82) which was set last season.

Least goals scored of all

That Brynäs can produce going forward, no one questions, but this season the team has above all sharpened the defensive and conceded the least goals of all in the regular season (69).

- It is very much about that we have improved the defensive game.

We have trained a lot on that, while we still have our offensive edge.

It's about the whole of the game and we have good conditions, says Josefin Bouveng.

What is the big difference in defense?

- It starts already when we lose the puck all over the course, we have become stronger in our own defense zone and better in the plays.

Since then, we have done very well on the goalkeeper side.

"Do not want to change with Luleå"

Coach Henrik Glaas on the change:

- The simple answer is that we have enjoyed more video and spent more time on the defensive out on the ice.

Since then, we have changed the gameplay a bit grand compared to previous seasons and it has turned out well so far.

- We have set the defensive in a completely different way this year and also have a cheerful offensive that can produce going forward.

I would not want to change teams with Luleå and stand in the second booth if we say so.

How do you handle the favorite?

- People have called us favorites ever since the opening meeting in Stockholm last autumn and so far we have handled it well, but now it's up to proof.

It is true that Luleå has the habit of winning Swedish Championship gold, but it is time for us now, says Glaas.

The first final match in the best of five will be broadcast on Wednesday 18.00 on SVT2 and SVT Play.
