2.\tDetroit Red Wings (37-12-8):<\/strong> We\u2019ll give them a mulligan at the sportsbook since they were hot as a pistol before stumbling last week.<\/p>\n 3. San Jose Sharks (37-8-9):<\/strong> Raise your hand if you knew the Sharks had lost six of seven. WTF?<\/p>\n 4.\tWashington Capitals (36-15-5):<\/strong> They really hit their stride again but they\u2019re also beating up on some relatively weak Eastern opponents (read: Tampa Bay\u2019s owner is the Saw franchise guy).<\/p>\n 5.\tBoston Bruins (39-10-8):<\/strong> Four straight losses, albeit against tough competition (PHI, SJ, NJ, NSH). Online betting fans shouldn\u2019t turn their backs on them; their youngsters are just tiring, that\u2019s all.<\/p>\n 6.\tCalgary Flames (33-18-5):<\/strong> Look out \u2013 they can score! Rebounded nicely by winning three of four last week.<\/p>\n 7.\tChicago Blackhawks (31-15-8):<\/strong> Home ice in the playoffs is almost a foregone conclusion. How pumped are you to see the United Center rock in April?<\/p>\n 8.\tVancouver Canucks (27-21-8):<\/strong> This is not a misprint. 5-1 in February. Sundin lives!<\/p>\n 9.\tPhiladelphia Flyers (30-16-9):<\/strong> Four high-scoring wins in five games; amazing forward depth really paying off. Will they trade for a goalie?<\/p>\n 10.\tFlorida Panthers (28-20-8):<\/strong> They\u2019ve won seven of 10, but they\u2019ll have to beat someone better than the Leafs to show they\u2019re for real. The plummeting Rangers don\u2019t count, either. 11.\tOttawa Senators (22-25-8): <\/strong>Power rankings are more about current strength than standings. Ladies and gentlemen, you\u2019re looking at the NHL\u2019s hottest team. Five straight wins.<\/p>\n 12.\tColumbus Blue Jackets (28-23-6):<\/strong> Beat San Jose and Detroit this month. The feel-good story of the NHL betting season?<\/p>\n 13.\tAnaheim Ducks (28-25-5): <\/strong>The Quack Attack ain\u2019t quite back, but back-to-back wins over Calgary turned some heads.<\/p>\n 14.\tDallas Stars (28-21-7):<\/strong> Riding Marty Turco back into contention. Could Brenden Morrow return in time for the Stanley Cup betting playoffs?<\/p>\n 15.\tEdmonton Oilers (29-23-4):<\/strong> Clawed their way back into the playoff race with crucial wins over fellow bubble teams L.A. and Phoenix last week.<\/p>\n 16.\tBuffalo Sabres (29-22-6) Amazingly, we have several currently playoff-bound teams in the bottom of the rankings. But no one can deny how much of a train wreck the Habs and Rangers are right now, can they?<\/p>\n See you next week\u2026<\/p>\n Well, hockey betting fans, the NHL trade deadline rapidly approaches, and that means the season is more than two thirds complete…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[10557,1954,9715,9859,9709,260,10556,10558,3067,1957,1958,10559,4879,1015],"class_list":["post-8449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nhl","tag-2009-nhl","tag-bet-on-hockey","tag-bet-online","tag-bet-online-sportsbook","tag-betonlinecom","tag-cappers-picks","tag-hockey-betting-online","tag-hockey-cappers","tag-hockey-handicapping","tag-nhl-betting","tag-nhl-gambling","tag-nhl-gambling-tips","tag-nhl-power-rankings","tag-power-ratings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8449"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107506,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8449\/revisions\/107506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n
