20 teams in the SHL and all of them have that one thing which could be described as their strength, the key of success or something like that. Let's say it's something that team should be thankful of, because it helps to get those important points for that ''Play-Offs'' push. This is a media where we can look at it. This is part 1 - first five teams.


Baltimore is having a consistent season so far, which allows team to be at the top. Most points, most wins, least allowed goals. Team has been consistent from the start of the season and it's something what each team needs to have to compete for a championship.


This team might be in the second place in standings, but they are the best scoring team. It comes with only 143 allowed goals too which is the second best result in the league as well. They have +117 goal differential which is very good. This dominant difference allows team to be the most efficient right now in the league. Most scored goals and second team with fewest allowed goals.

21 victories in 25 games at home, lost only 7 points on their own ice. Arguably the best home team in the league. Some might say that it's tied between three squads right now, but ''Panthers'' in my opinion are a bit better. Plus, they are reigning champions, so that's something that works on their side too. They have ''Play-Offs'' experience and that might be very important when the time comes to compete for that trophy.


Texas have four games this season which hasn't ended in regular time. They have won three of them which results in 75% win rate. Only one loss. Only ''Panthers'' have a better record (3-0), but I think that their most important thing is an ability to win on their own ice. Texas meanwhile has a bit of advantage on overtime and shootouts (at least statistics say so).


Only 11th place in the entire league, while having the second best player in the league points wise. Jack St. Clair has recorded 87 points already this season and he is fighting to even climb to the first spot. Important to mention that team has Eggward Elric too which has 77 points and sits at tied 6th spot between leaders. These two dudes are very important for this squad since team is at the middle of the standings. It's important for them to do the same in ''Play-Offs'' since front office has put all of the hopes exactly on them.

Part 2 soon. Reminder that this is all subjective and just to make SHL balance. Have a nice day y'all and best of the luck for the rest of the season.
