NHL Power Rankings - All 31 Teams: 3/9/20

4. Colorado Avalanche 41-19-8, 90pts

5. Philadelphia Flyers 41-20-7, 89pts

The league’s hottest team, the Flyers have won nine straight games, as six of those wins were against Metro division teams. 

6. Washington Capitals 41-20-7, 89pts

Washington is now tied with Philadelphia for the lead in the Metro division, as the Caps picked up a big road win over the Penguins. 

7. Vegas Golden Knights 38-24-8, 84pts

Vegas has won 10 out of their last 12 games, as they lead the Pacific division. 

8. Pittsburgh Penguins 39-23-6, 84pts

Pittsburgh has not been able to fully put their struggles behind them, as the Penguins have now lost back-to-back games, being outscored 11-4 in that stretch. 

9. Edmonton Oilers 37-24-8, 82pts

The Oilers have won four of their last five and are right behind the Golden Knights for the Pacific division lead.

Carolina has strung together two wins over Metro rivals in the Islanders and Penguins. 

12. Columbus Blue Jackets 33-22-15, 81pts

Columbus was able to end their West Coast trip with a big 2-1 win over the Canucks. They currently own the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. 

13. New York Islanders 35-23-9, 79pts

The Islanders have lost six straight and are currently outside the playoff picture. This next West Coast road trip may define the rest of their season.

Calgary’s three-game win streak was snapped in a home loss to Vegas, 5-3.

15. Toronto Maple Leafs 35-25-9, 79pts

The Leafs lost three games to the California teams, Ducks, Sharks, and Kings. Not a good look at all. 

16. Minnesota Wild 35-27-7, 77pts

Here comes the Wild! Currently owning the first wild card spot, no one saw this coming from Minnesota, as they have been red hot. 

17. New York Rangers 36-28-4, 76pts

The Rangers lost a big home game against the Devils, 6-4. Losses like that can prohibit a playoff spot. 

18. Florida Panthers 34-26-8, 76pts

The Cats took care of business at home against the Canadiens. That win snapped a four-game losing streak for Florida. 

19. Vancouver Canucks 35-27-6, 76pts  

Losing five of your last six will make it near impossible to make the playoffs, even in the more feasible Western Conference. 

20. Nashville Predators 34-26-8, 76pts

Welcome to the playoff hunt Nashville, as the Predators swept a home-and-home against the Stars. 

21. Winnipeg Jets 35-28-6, 76pts

The Jets defense has come out of nowhere, as well as Connor Hellebuyck’s outstanding play. The Jets are right in the mix. 

22. Arizona Coyotes 33-28-8, 74pts

Arizona had won back-to-back games before losing to the Flames on the road, 3-2. 

23. Montreal Canadiens 31-30-9, 71pts

The Sharks have lost three straight one-goal games. 

31. Detroit Red Wings 17-48-5, 39pts

The Red Wing have been eliminated from playoff contention, but that did not stop them from spoiling the hearts of Blackhawk and Lightning fans this week.
