Sometimes it just makes sense.
The Colorado Avalanche and Florida Panthers are the top two teams in the NHL standings.
They're the top teams when it comes to points percentage. They have two of the top three scoring offenses. And they're two of five teams that had already clinched playoff berths before Tuesday's games.
Given all that, it should shock precisely no one that all five B/R NHL staffers voted the Avs and Panthers 1-2 on the ballots for this week's edition of the NHL Power Rankings.
It's the 13th straight week on top for the Avalanche and the sixth in a row as second place for the Panthers.
