On March 20, 2026, in Luleå, Sweden, Luleå Hockey faced uncertainty regarding its defensemen ahead of a decisive eighth-final playoff game. Two regular defensemen, Frederic Allard and Jesper Sellgren, were absent from training on Friday. Allard reportedly missed the second eighth-final game against Örebro, and Sellgren reportedly left that game after the first period.
Two junior defensemen were called in as replacements. Coach Henrik Stridh did not provide details on the plan if Allard and Sellgren cannot play, stating, "Den får ni se imorgon" (You'll see that tomorrow). The availability of the defensemen for the upcoming match remains unclear.
