NHL
Power Rankings - The Dallas Stars and Colorado
Avalanche each ended last week on a long winning
streak, moving them both into a position to challenge
for one of the top spots in future editions of
the NHL Power Rankings. Moving up to No. 1 this
week, however, are the Detroit Red Wings, who
defeated last week's leader (the Philadelphia
Flyers) in a head-to-head matchup on Thursday
night to reach the summit.
Here is the Week 16 edition
of the NHL Power Rankings.
01 - Detroit Red Wings (Last
Week 02) - Scored five third-period goals against
the Flyers on Thursday night; four points for
Henrik Zetterberg in that win.
02 - Carolina Hurricanes (Last
Week 03) - Have the largest division lead of any
first-place team, but will be tested as they suffer
through injuries on defense.
03 - Philadelphia Flyers (Last
Week 01) - Don't seem to want to give a start
to Jamie Storr, so it might be all Antero Niittymaki
until Robert Esche returns. More NHL
