It\u2019s been two weeks since we updated the Rankings \u2013 the new top dog has made quite a jump thanks to a seven game win streak. Injuries to Jonathan Toews and Sidney Crosby threaten to create a bit of a shake-up in two weeks time but right now their respective teams are still playing some good hockey. <\/p>\n

Change is the theme in the NHL Power Rankings \u2013 this edition is no different.<\/p>\n
So where does you favorite team lay in the bi-weekly edition of the NHL Power Rankings? <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n
1. Anaheim Ducks<\/strong> 21-6-5 (Two Weeks Ago: 9) \u2013 The Ducks have won seven straight games and now sit atop the NHL standings by five points. Corey Perry\u2019s injury certainly hurts but this team is impressively finding a way to still win!<\/p>\n
2. Chicago Blackhawks<\/strong> 21-9-1 (Two Weeks Ago: 10) – The Hawks are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games and are a league-best +34 in goal differential. It was only a matter of time but the Hawks are finally where they rightfully belong.<\/p>\n

3. Pittsburgh Penguins<\/strong> 19-6-4 (Two Weeks Ago: 2) \u2013 The Pens are dealing with an \u201cillness: to Sidney Crosby \u2013 the mumps will keep him out a while. Still, the team has gone 6-2-2 in the last couple of weeks and looks like the deepest team in the game right now.<\/p>\n
4. St. Louis Blues<\/strong> 20-8-2 (Two Weeks Ago: 3) – The Blues have won four straight games heading into this week and are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Everything is impressive about this team from the goaltenders out!<\/p>\n
5. Tampa Bay Lightning<\/strong> 19-9-3 (Two Weeks Ago: 4) \u2013 The Lightning continue to be the most prolific offense in the NHL right now \u2013 they have 105 goals so far \u2013 10 more than the next highest scoring team. Ben Bishop has struggled but will come around sooner than later.<\/p>\n
6. Nashville Predators<\/strong> 19-8-2 (Two Weeks Ago: 1) \u2013 The Preds have fallen back a tad but have gone just 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. They have gone a league best 11-2-1 on home ice and barely sit outside the top 5 this week.<\/p>\n

7. Detroit Red Wings<\/strong> 17-7-7 (Two Weeks Ago: 7) \u2013 the Wings lost to a scorching Leafs team on Saturday but have still gone 6-2-2 in their last 10 games overall. A healthy Wings team is a scary one \u2013 not even the reports of a possible coaching change can slow this team down.<\/p>\n
8. Montreal Canadiens<\/strong> 19-10-2 (Two Weeks Ago: 5) \u2013 The Habs have are scuffling \u2013 4-5-1 in their last 10 games. But most of those losses came on the road. They are 11-3-1 on home ice and are coming off good wins against LA and Vancouver at Bell Center where they will remain for the next week.<\/p>\n
9. New York Islanders<\/strong> 20-10-0 (Two Weeks Ago: 6) – The Islanders are just 6-4-0 in their last 10 games but still sit with 40 points on the year. How about their 5-0 record in the shootout?<\/p>\n
10. Vancouver Canucks<\/strong> 18-10-2 (Two Weeks Ago: 8) – The Canucks have suddenly lost four straight games but three of those losses came on their season-long seven game road trip. Back at home expect this team to pick up their play and ride their unforeseen depth.<\/p>\n
11. Toronto Maple Leafs<\/strong>\u00a018-9-3 (Two Weeks Ago: 14) \u2013 the Leafs won their fifth straight game on Sunday night \u2013 this time against the Los Angeles Kings and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games overall.
