The Chicago Blackhawks have regressed in their progress the last couple weeks and showed their lack of experience with two blowout losses in California.
In this week’s power rankings, the Avalanche and Stars remain the class of the league while the Jets and Kraken continue their freefall. These power rankings are determined mostly by a team's win-loss record, but also by their recent performance, injuries, and the strength of the week's schedule. For example, if teams have similar records or point totals, they will receive a higher ranking based on who they played and the margins of victory.
