               2 – Vasteras Iron Eagles – The Iron Eagles are sporting a 10-3-3 record, tying Bratislava for the league lead with 23 points. With 45 goals for and 35 against, their +10 differential is second best in the league, and they have the stingiest defense.

 

               3 – Istanbul Red Wolves – The Red Wolves have the leagues most potent offense with 56 goals for, and the third fewest goals allowed with 39, giving the team a league-best +17 differential. They trail Bratislava and Vasteras by 1 point in the standings, as Istanbul is the only team in the VHLE without a Loser Point.
