There is a lot of blue-yellow at the top of the defensemen's scoring in the NHL.
In addition to veteran Erik Karlsson and former draft pick Rasmus Dahlin, Hampus Lindholm has also started brilliantly for the Boston Bruins.
Now the slopes are praised by national team captain Sam Hallam.
- It's great fun to watch.
Rasmus Dahlin has been seen since he played junior hockey.
I saw him for the first time in the old Växjö ice rink.
He has been away for a long time and it feels like he has taken a couple more steps, he says and continues:
- Erik Karlsson seems to have really come back from his injury and found his joy in playing.
Both Dahlin's Buffalo Sabers and Karlsson's San Jose Sharks will have a tough time in the fight for playoff spots.
Thus, they can be relevant for a WC this spring.
But Sam Hallam hasn't really thought that far yet.
- The honest answer is that you know what is happening in the hockey world, but right now there has been a hell of a focus on Karjala and this squad.
Then we have the tournament in Switzerland and after that we start watching even more NHL.
During January, we will sit down and have a big review and review how the squads can look before a World Cup.
