1.
- Headed into Olympic break a bit off by Hawk standards but still the team to beat
2.
- Another solid week by Anaheim to maintain their division stranglehold. Wins against Boston, Columbus x 2 will take it
3.
- One mis-step by Anaheim and Philly is right there, they have toughest match-up remaining of the big 3 playing Preds in week 22
4.
- Best chance of as an 8th place team to go the distance, but will they stay in 8th much longer?
5.
- Been teetering on the edge with the big 3 all season, could be a dark horse in the playoffs
6.
- If this team gets hot in the playoffs they can make some noise but if cold they are very cold
7.
- Haven't been the surprising Jets we came to know this season losing 2 straight. Goalie starts are essential for them
8.
- Abysmal showing against Boston but should be a playoff team but not expecting them to be the 2012 Kings
9.
- Can't make the playoffs but they got Price! Go Canada Go!
10.
- Lowest ever ranking for the Oilers, simple speed bump in their franchise or fall from grace?
11.
- Next season should be better with Miller moving to a stronger team and Markstrom maybe getting solid minutes
12.
- 2 ppg player in each forward position is never bad but need the goalies to start playing more
13.
- Possible record of 12 buyouts this season, vying to be big contenders in free agency this off-season
14.
- Beat Calgary heading into break but overall disappointing season for Les Canadiens
15.
- Dubnyk trade to Nashville did not work out and Flames are starting to go out in their net
16.
- Just beat Toronto in last week before playoffs to jump ahead in them in the power rankings
17.
- New GM making all the right moves, waiting to see what a full season next year will bring
18.
- Only team still looking for a win this season, will it come in these last 3 weeks?
