NHL Power Rankings – Nov. 3

How the mighty have fallen in the past week. A shake up at the top of this weeks power rankings will have some teams scrambling to get back to the top. (last week)

Ducks Logo 1. Anaheim Ducks – 20 pts – (3)

11 goals in 13 games for Corey Perry sums up how their season is going. The mighty Ducks had a solid week on the road winning in Chicago, Dallas, and Colorado.

NYIslanders/Arizona/Vancouver

Canadiens Logo 2. Montreal Canadiens – 17 pts – (2)

Rough week for the Canadiens. Still have high hopes that this team will get it turned around offensively. Buffalo on the schedule always helps.

Chicago/@Buffalo/Minnesota

Predators Logo 3. Nashville Predators – 16 pts – (4)

Pekka Rinne has been on fire as of late. The real question who thought Filip Forsberg would be this good? The kid is a stud, 11 points in 11 games.

@Winnipeg/@Dallas/@ST.Louis

Sharks Logo 4. San Jose Sharks – 16 pts – (7)

The Sharks won 2/3 last week, but could have been perfect. They have one game at home, before going on a seven game east coast road trip.

Vancouver/@Dallas/@Chicago

Lightning Logo 5. Tampa Bay Lightning – 17 pts – (11)

Offense has been no problem for the Lightning to start the season. They have players scattered at the top of almost every statistical category.

Calgary/@Columbus/@Detroit

Canucks Logo 6. Vancouver Canucks – 16 pts – (8)

Ryan Miller has put this team on his back, and they are poised to stay in the hunt out west.

@Colorady/@SanJose/@LosAngeles/@Anaheim

Penguins Logo 7. Pittsburgh Penguins – 15 pts – (14)

Marc-Andre Fleury has a four game winning streak going. 3 shutouts and a 19-3 scoring differential has the Penguins the hottest in the NHL.

@Minnesota/@Winnipeg/@Buffalo

Flames Logo 8. Calgary Flames – 16 pts – (10)

Coming off a solid weekend should have the Flames ready to continue this five game road trip.

@Washington/@TampaBay/@Florida

Red Wings Logo 9. Detroit Red Wings – 15 pts – (12)

Could’ve had a perfect week if they didn’t lose to Buffalo in a shootout. Justin Abdelkader is playing some solid hockey with 10 points in their first 11 games.

@Ottawa/@NYRangers/NewJersey/TampaBay

Kings Logo 10. Los Angeles Kings – 14 pts – (1)

Terrible road trip so far for the Champs. 0-3-1 with some questionable losses has the Kings reeling. Thank god this road trip ends tonight.

@Dallas/NYIslanders/Vancouver

Bruins Logo 11. Boston Bruins – 14 pts – (13)

Extending Claude Julien was much needed to keep this team at the top of East. Even with all their injuries it’s hard to write off the B’s on any given night.

Florida/Edmonton

Wild Logo 12. Minnesota Wild – 14 pts – (17)

3.40 goals a game so far. Nothing but upside for this team who will continue to rise up the rankings.

Pittsburgh/@Ottawa/@Montreal

Blachhawks Logo 13. Chicago Blackhawks – 13 pts – (6)

Crawford has come back from his injury and has yet to win. 2.25 goals a game, this offense is ice cold.

@Montreal/Washington/SanJose

Blues Logo 14. St. Louis Blues – 13 pts – (19)

Four straight wins for the injury filled Blues. Back to back games to start the week isn’t ideal in this situation.

@NYRangers/@NewJersey/NewJersey/Nasville

Devils Logo 15. New Jersey Devils – 14 pts – (16)

The Devils have bounced back nicely from their four game losing streak. Gotta win this home and home against the Blues to keep momentum rolling.

St.Louis/@St.Louis/@Detroit

Maple Leafs Logo 16. Toronto Maple Leafs – 13 pts – (23)

Three wins a row, can the Leafs continue into this week? 3/4 on the road this week may send them back to reality.

@Arizona/@Colorado/NYRangers/@Ottawa

Jets Logo 17. Winnipeg Jets – 13 pts – (26)

Solid road trip for the Jets taking 7/8 points on their East coast trip. They come home for two games, before heading out for another five game trip.

Nashville/Pittsburgh/@Ottawa

Islanders Logo 18. New York Islanders – 12 pts – (5)

Be more up and down Islanders, you can’t. Win four, lose two, win two, lose three. Cannot get a read on this team, so I’m back to the preseason hate of the Islanders.

@Anaheim/@LosAngeles/@Arizona

Avalanche Logo 19. Colorado Avalanche – 11 pts – (22)

Out-shot in 9 of 13 games, the Avalanche have to figure out how to get the puck to the net. Also have to figure out overtime and shootouts, they have yet to win one in extra time (0-5).

Vancouver/Toronto/@Philadelphia

Capitals Logo 20. Washington Capitals – 10 pts – (9)

Just when things look good s**t hits the fan. 4/5 at home coming up is a perfect way for Ovi to change the tide.

Calgary/@Chicago/Carolina

Stars Logo 21. Dallas Stars – 12 pts – (15)

0-2-2 in their last four, and with a tough schedule this week Lindy Ruff will have to rally the troops to climb back up the rankings.

LosAngeles/Nashville/SanJose

Senators Logo 22. Ottawa Senators – 12 pts – (18)

Just like the team above, the Sens started the season hot, but have cooled off as of late (1-2-2). Good thing they return to the Canadian Tire Centre for four games.

Detroit/Minnesota/Winnipeg/Toronto

Rangers Logo 23. New York Rangers – 11 pts – (21)

Not used to seeing King Henrik give up 3.00 goals a game. Doesn’t help that Ryan McDonagh is out for 3-4 weeks. It may be a rough few weeks for the boys in blue.

St.Louis/Detroit/@Toronto/Edmonton

Panthers Logo 24. Florida Panthers – 11 pts – (27)

Have the Panthers finally figured it out? Points in their last six games and only giving up 1.89 goals per game. The Panters may be on the fast track up the rankings.

@Boston/@Philadelphia/Calgary

Flyers Logo 25. Philadelphia Flyers – 10 pts – (24)

Can win against Los Angeles, Detroit, and Pittsburgh, but can’t beat the Florida teams. Four in a row at home could get the Flyers back on track.

Edmonton/Florida/Colorado

Blue Jackets Logo 26. Columbus Blue Jackets – 8 pts – (20)

8.5% chance of drafting Connor McDavid.

Oilers Logo 27. Edmonton Oilers – 9 pts – (28)

9.5% chance of drafting Connor McDavid.

Coyotes Logo 28. Arizona Coyotes – 9 pts – (25)

11.5% chance of drafting Connor McDavid.

Sabres Logo 29. Buffalo Sabres – 7 pts – (29)

11.5% chance of drafting Connor McDavid.

Hurricanes Logo 30. Carolina Hurricanes – 6 pts – (30)

20% chance of drafting Connor McDavid.
