Current NHL Power Rankings: Music City Muscle

By Scott Burnside (posted Feb. 2, 2015)
Week:

Imagine being adrift on a vast ocean for a month ... well, land ho, Burnside is back at the helm of the S.S. Power Rankings. And that means a healthy dose of the Central Division at the top, although there might be no tougher place to play these days than the Atlantic Division. Read on.
2014-2015 Power Rankings: Week 17
RANKTEAM / RECORD TRENDINGCOMMENTS
1
Nashville
32-11-6
5
Last Week: 6		The Predators are surviving quite well without Vezina/Hart Trophy front-runner Pekka Rinne. The Preds dispatched the Penguins 4-0 in a pre-Super Bowl matinee Sunday as they continue to own the top spot in the Central and the NHL's top winning percentage.
2
St. Louis
32-13-4
1
Last Week: 1		The Blues rolled over the Capitals in the nation's capital Sunday to keep the Predators within range. The win was the fifth in a row for the Blues, who are now 10-0-1 in their past 11. Big home tilt Tuesday against the Atlantic Division-leading Lightning, although potential loss of All-Star Kevin Shattenkirk is more than a little troubling.
3
Detroit
29-12-9
6
Last Week: 9		How much fun is this race for the top spot in the Atlantic Division? The Wings have won 12 of 16 and are tied with the Canadiens, a point back of the Lightning.
4
Tampa Bay
32-15-4
3
Last Week: 7		The Lightning have won two in a row after a brief soft spell and continue to own the top spot in both the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference. The Evgeni Nabokov experiment appears to be over as the veteran netminder was put on waivers on the weekend. What took so long?
5
Anaheim
32-12-6
3
Last Week: 2		The division-leading Ducks had a disappointing weekend, losing to the Sharks and then at home to the Blackhawks after a nice six-game win streak. They still own a double-digit point lead over the second-place Sharks in the Pacific.
6
Montreal
32-14-3
2
Last Week: 8		The Habs were beaten 3-2 at home on Sunday against the lowly Coyotes, snapping a five-game winning streak. The loss kept the Canadiens from jumping past the Lightning and back into the top spot in the Atlantic, but that was still a good stretch for the Habs. Carey Price, who was rested Sunday, continues to garner Hart Trophy consideration.
7
Boston
27-16-7
4
Last Week: 11		The Bruins are back, folks, with just two regulation losses in their past 17 games. Take heed, Atlantic Division. They've got an interesting week ahead, with the Rangers, Islanders and Canadiens.
8
New York
32-16-1
4
Last Week: 4		The Isles have dropped a pair in a row but continue to hold down the top spot in the Metropolitan Division. Life without Kyle Okposo won't get any easier, either.
9
Chicago
31-17-2
6
Last Week: 3		The Blackhawks are trending a little sideways, losing ground steadily to the Predators and Blues. Patrick Kane is now tied for second in league scoring, just two points behind Jakub Voracek.
10
New York
28-15-4
5
Last Week: 5		The Rangers stopped a brief two-game slide with a win over the Hurricanes but an interesting week with the Panthers, Bruins and Predators looms.
11
San Jose
27-17-6
5
Last Week: 16		The streaky Sharks are trending upward again, with three straight wins.
12
Pittsburgh
28-14-8
--

Last Week: 12		Offense continues to be an issue for the Penguins, who look more than a little off-kilter. They were blanked by the Preds on Sunday and have been held to fewer than three goals in six of their past eight games.
13
Washington
25-15-10
--

Last Week: 13		The Capitals are likewise a little sideways, and Sunday's loss to the Blues -- in which they gave up 40 shots and backup Justin Peters took another loss -- looked more like the old Caps than Barry Trotz's Caps. That's not good.
14
Winnipeg
26-17-8
4
Last Week: 10		Speaking of throwback, the Jets' three-game losing streak is looking very Thrasher-like. Winnipeg still has a good grip on the top wild-card spot in the Western Conference, but it's imperative this short slide does not become a cliff dive.
15
Calgary
27-20-3
--

Last Week: 15		The Flames are 6-2 in their past eight and enter February in a playoff spot. They've got a pretty big tilt against the Jets on Monday night.
16
Los Angeles
21-16-12
1
Last Week: 17		The Kings got off to a rocky start on a crucial road trip beginning in Boston and continue to be outside the playoff bubble.
17
Colorado
21-18-11
1
Last Week: 18		The Avs are without defensive leader Erik Johnson but have points in 11 of 14 and are back in the hunt in a crowded wild-card race in the West.
18
Dallas
23-19-7
1
Last Week: 19		The Stars are tied with the Avs, four points back of the Flames, and are likewise looking for stretch consistency.
19
Vancouver
27-18-3
5
Last Week: 14		The Canucks are just barely holding down third place in the Pacific Division and have lost three of four. Their offensive depth has disappeared.
20
Minnesota
23-20-6
1
Last Week: 21		OK, maybe Devan Dubnyk IS the answer. The former Oilers/Coyotes goalie has stabilized the Wild at a problematic position and they have won three in a row and pulled to within five of the playoffs.
21
Philadelphia
22-22-7
4
Last Week: 25		The Flyers are suddenly making noise in the Eastern Conference, with four straight wins. They're not close enough yet but closer than a week ago.
22
Florida
21-16-10
2
Last Week: 20		The Panthers looked like the only team outside the top eight in the East at the All-Star break that had a shot. The Cats have one win in seven and face the Rangers, Islanders, Kings and Predators this week. Yikes.
23
New Jersey
19-22-9
4
Last Week: 27		Good for the Devils, coming out of the break determined to make some noise. They are 4-1-2 in their past seven.
24
Ottawa
20-19-9
2
Last Week: 22		The Senators are treading water, as they have pretty much all season.
25
Carolina
17-26-6
1
Last Week: 24		Signs of life for the young Hurricanes, as they have gone 5-2-2 in their past nine.
26
Columbus
21-24-3
3
Last Week: 23		Blue Jackets sans Sergei Bobrovsky are now re-entering the Connor McDavid zone.
27
Arizona
18-26-6
1
Last Week: 28		The Coyotes have been in Connor McDavid zone for some time now, notwithstanding a nice comeback win against the Canadiens on Sunday.
28
Edmonton
13-28-9
1
Last Week: 29		The Oilers actually collected the odd win. Not like the wins are odd, just that it's odd to see them collected.
29
Toronto
22-25-4
3
Last Week: 26		What a disaster. Is there enough dynamite in Canada to actually successfully blow this thing up?
30
Buffalo
14-33-3
--

Last Week: 30		The Sabres have not won since Dec. 27. You can't spell Buffalo these days without t-a-n-k.

    So the Blues are 10-0-1, Undefeated last week. The Blues beat the Preds last week while the preds lose two games and the Blues go from 1 to 2 in the rankings and the team that jumped them was the Preds?

    Are you guys getting paid by how many comments are made. Leaving out the oilers and dropping the hottest team in hockey right now to a team they just beat is really pandering. Are you guys asking us to go to CBS or NHL.com? At least they include all the teams

      Patrick Paz No one is saying the Preds arent one of the top three teams in the league but these are power rankings. Its the "what have you done lately" rankings as opposed to the standings. The Preds are 6-2-2 in the last 10 and the Blues are 9-0-1. It seems odd that a team gets moved into #1 postion losing two games in the past week and the hottest team in the leaque over the past three weeks is dropped.

    How does a team that goes 2-2 on the week jump 5 spots to number 1? Not only that, but they lost to one of the teams they jumped, the same team that was number 1 last week and is 10-0-1 in their last 11... Come on ESPN, we all know that these are silly and don't mean anything, but at least make it appear that you are somewhat trying.

      I couldn't agree more. The Blues go 4-0 for the week and drop a spot (and have gone 10-0-1 as mentioned). Worse they get jumped by a team they beat during the week. I thought it was overly generous to put the Blues at the top last week, but it was the one week I would have thought the top would stay the same. None of this matters but silly is maybe too nice a word.

      You do realize that they had to go to the shootout against the backup goalie. The Preds are still on top of the Central division and once Pekka Rinne is back then other teams are going to be cringing as an elite goaltender comes back and should be ready and raring to go.

      Tom Puck I don't remember me whining at all, just making an honest observation. I never said that I think the blues are the best team in the league, or that they deserved to be #1 in the power rankings, just simply asking how they got jumped by someone that they beat. My question would have been the same had this taken place at the 10/11 spot. But I hope that you feel good generalizing an entire fanbase and pointing out that these rankings don't mean anything... Which I also stated, so I don't know why you got on to comment and repeat things I have already said.

Unless they are #1, then its a case of ESPN and the NHL finally giving the Blues their due. When the reality is that the Blues do get their love. No offense to any one fan, just the mindset of the collective fanbase.

      Andrew Moelis The movement doesn't necessarily need to mirror movement in the standings. Quite the opposite. The Power ranking is a ranking of who is playing better right now. I don't think the case can be made for Nashville right now given they have 4 losses in their last 6 games. Understanding they are missing their goalie but still not playing better.

    It would appear that Edmonton was to be 28 since what I see are teams ranked 26, 27, 29, 30. I am a Preds fan, but being #1, which is nice, is a little high I think. St Louis is outstanding right now and is, in my opinion, #1. I thought Nashville was a bit too low last week, so on balance maybe the average of these two weeks is about right for my guys. As for this week's ranks, I believe the right 4 teams are at the top but maybe there should be a different order. I would have the Blues #1 and the Wings, Bolts, and Preds in a pick'em for 2, 3, 4.

    The usual Burnside 6-spot dump for the Blackhawks. Works for me - they don't deserve a top spot at the moment, but I chuckle at how low Scott always ranks them compared to Pierre. Yet somehow they're usually right there in the top four at the end of the playoffs. As a Hawks fan I love the negative correlation to final position, so keep downgrading them, Scott! Maybe you can get some work for Moody's rating mortgage-backed securities.

I hope they in turn get bored with that and decide what they really want to be good at is beating everyone else 7-1 every game.

    With Rinne in net it is a different discussion, but we saw an unhealthy Blues team on their first game back just completely outplay Nashville. If it wasn't for a few fluke goals by Nashville and a lapse of concentration in the third period, the Preds wouldn't have been in that game at all. I don't know if the Blues deserve to be number one overall especially with all of our injuries, but the Nashville love affair needs to stop.

      David Van Winkle I think we can all agree injuries are part of the game but the Blues played the Capitals yesterday without Kevin Shattenkirk (All Star), David Backes (All-Star) Jori Lehtra, and Patrick Berglund. and played the last week without Berglund and Lehtra. The Blues Played all of December without our starting goal tender Brian Elliot (League Leader in Save Percentage) The point is the playing with injuries happens and the Preds Injuries currently are no worse than the Blues but the Blues continue to win and the Preds are sub .500. without Rinne. There is no argument can be made to validate that right now the Preds are the best team in hockey. Right now the best team is St Louis.

    I don't understand the Preds' ranking and the reasoning behind it. The Blues had been playing superior hockey even before Rinne went down. They've lost four of seven since losing him. I wouldn't call that "surviving". I'd say they're sliding back a bit. They aren't bad, by any means. Very good, in fact. They just aren't better than the Blues right now. No one is.

      Well Nashville is #1 in the league so therefore they're #1 on here. Plus they embarrassed the guins in Pitt yesterday.

      Yeah but the blues were #1 last week. Won all their games this week. And somehow the Predators jumped five spots even though they lost to the blues? bs.

      Kevin Nestra I get Pred fan's rationale for this, but 6-2-2 vs a team that's 9-0-1 I would have thought it 'd have a little more pull. It's a weekly ranking, such as life.
