Sometimes, things stay the same. And sometimes, they change.
The Boston Bruins remain amid a historically good start that's seen them play 20 home games without a regulation loss and establish comfortable league leads in wins, goals and goal differential.
But they're not the only team playing on an elite level.
The Carolina Hurricanes have won nine straight games and earned at least a point in 15 straight while joining the Bruins as both divisional leaders in the Eastern Conference and penthouse-dwelling teams in this week's edition of B/R's Power Rankings.
It's the seventh straight week atop the list for Boston, which leads second-place Toronto by seven points in the Atlantic Division.
