Apologies for missing week five of the power rankings last week. Someone told me I had to spend time with family and everything just fell apart from there. But hopefully without another hiccup, here is week six! The changes in ranking are over the past two weeks, since I don’t have the data from last week, but I’ll only talk about the past week for most teams (except Pittsburgh, and New Jersey).
Week Six
The Lightning continue to be at the top of the Eastern Conference, but their lead has slimmed significantly. Two recent losses to Ottawa and Buffalo have allowed the Maple Leafs to catch up to within one point of thr top spot in as many games.
