The race for Western Conference supremacy is as tight as it can be. While the Nashville Predators remain in the lead in the standings, 9 teams sit within 10 points. Two teams are surging while others are treading water. Still, ten teams vying for position at this point in the season makes for exciting games.
Making the strongest play for the top of our rankings this week is the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs have won five straight games, and are 7-2-1 in their last 10. During their current streak, four of their wins were away from their home, with last night’s victory over the Predators being the most impressive.
