The Senators’ and Sabres’ early-season success seems like a mirage after recent skids, but winning streaks have the Ducks and the Kings on the rise in this week’s power rankings.
NHL goals leader Alex Ovechkin is keeping the Capitals’ offense afloat, while the Oilers are riding high behind their pair of league points leaders in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. The Panthers handed the Hurricanes their first loss of the season, but was that enough to overtake Carolina for the top spot?
Here’s where every team stands.
32. Arizona Coyotes
Last Week: 32
Record: 1-10-1
After starting the season with 11 straight losses, the Coyotes finally managed a win Saturday, though they held the lead for just the final 65 seconds of the 5–4 comeback victory against the Kraken.
