Tremendous Twenty - NHL Power Rankings

Time sure does fly in the sports world, as we're now almost three months into the NHL Season. There has been quite a bit of shuffling in the Power Rankings, as the Ducks now hold the top spot, with the Penguins slipping to number three. I blame the mumps for the Penguins fall, it seems as though every player on that team has, or will have it eventually this season. While the Top 10 has remained relatively the same, there are a few teams that have fallen drastically in rankings. The Flames for example, dropped eight spots, from 10th to 18th, which was the biggest mover this time around. The league's parity is shown in my rankings, as there as 10 teams from both the Eastern and Western Conferences. With the point system in the NHL, the rankings shuffle almost daily, so make sure to check back often to see the updated rankings each week. Here's how the Tremendous Twenty stack up heading into the month of January: 

1. Anaheim Ducks (24-8-6, 54 pts)

2. Chicago Blackhawks (24-10-2, 50 pts)

3. Pittsburgh Penguins (22-8-5, 49 pts)

4. Nashville Predators (23-9-2, 48 pts)

5. New York Islanders (23-11-1, 47 pts)

6. Tampa Bay Lightning (22-11-4, 48 pts)

7. St. Louis Blues (21-11-3, 45 pts)

8. Montreal Canadiens (22-11-2, 46 pts)

9. Detroit Red Wings (19-8-9, 47 pts)

10. Vancouver Canucks (20-11-3, 43 pts)
