NHL Power Rankings: 1-31 poll, plus the biggest trade-deadline sticking point for every team

The NHL trade deadline is Monday, and because this season is so unusual, each team is operating under its own unique circumstance. For this week's NHL Power Rankings, we identified a sticking point for every team heading into the deadline.

How we rank: The ESPN hockey editorial staff submits selections ranking teams 1 to 31 -- taking into account game results, injuries and upcoming schedule -- and those results are tabulated in the list featured here.

Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to our Week 11 edition, published on March 31.
