Brynäs has begun preparations for the SHL playoffs, with a training week ahead before their quarterfinal series against Växjö starts next Tuesday. The team reportedly secured a direct spot to the quarterfinals by a narrow margin. Defender Mattias Norlinder, who has previously helped eliminate Växjö in a quarterfinal, expressed optimism about the upcoming series.
Brynäs entered the playoffs as a favorite last year after winning the regular season as a newcomer. According to reports, questions have been raised about whether Växjö should be considered the favorite, Brynäs's recent form, and the team's goaltending choices.
