| Power Rankings |
| Current | Team | Previous |
 | 1 | Blackhawks · Trends | 2 |
| Chicago had to have a letdown after that statement win in San Jose, just not enough to ruin a great 4-1-1 circus road trip. |
 | 2 | Sharks · Trends | 1 |
| The Sharks are always among the best at home, but this season they already have 11 road wins to lead the league. |
 | 3 | Devils · Trends | 3 |
| Marty's just being Marty. Devils goalie Brodeur has allowed two goals or less in 13 of his past 15 starts, and one or less in eight of those. |
 | 4 | Penguins · Trends | 7 |
| Getting healthy and on a roll. The Pens are starting to fire on all cylinders and have won six of their past eight. |
 | 5 | Flames · Trends | 5 |
| They are taking control of the Northwest Division mainly because of how well they are playing on the road. |
 | 6 | Capitals · Trends | 6 |
| Semyon Varlamov has picked up where he left off in the playoffs, going 10-1-3 so far in his first full NHL season. |
 | 7 | Sabres · Trends | 8 |
| Is there any doubt Ryan Miller has locked up the starting job for Team USA at the Olympics? |
 | 8 | Predators · Trends | 9 |
| A very solid blue line and good work in goal from both Pekka Rinne and Dan Ellis have the Predators in the thick of the West race. |
 | 9 | Bruins · Trends | 11 |
| Playing a lot of hockey these days, with OTs in five of their past six, but Boston is picking up points and back in the division race. |
 | 10 | Thrashers · Trends | 21 |
| In Ilya Kovalchuk's shadow, Rich Peverley remains an impact guy with a league-leading five game-winners among his 10 goals. |
 | 11 | Senators · Trends | 10 |
| Mike Fisher is having a big-time turnaround season for the Sens and putting up the best numbers of his career. |
 | 12 | Flyers · Trends | 4 |
| With the Flyers still falling short of expectations, coach John Stevens' future is being called into question. |
 | 13 | Coyotes · Trends | 17 |
| Tough team to play against when ahead. Phoenix is 11-2-1 this season when scoring first. |
 | 14 | Red Wings · Trends | 13 |
| You know things are rough offensively when the home folks are yelling "Let's go Lions." |
 | 15 | Lightning · Trends | 19 |
| Steven Stamkos continues his remarkable sophomore season and drive toward Canada's Olympic team. He's on pace to score more than 50 goals. |
 | 16 | Kings · Trends | 14 |
| Anze Kopitar's shootout winner against Chicago is the only time he has scored since Ryan Smyth went down. |
 | 17 | Avalanche · Trends | 18 |
| Things continue to go downhill for the Avalanche, who now have their top two goal scorers on the shelf. |
 | 18 | Canucks · Trends | 16 |
| The Canucks are in the playoff picture because of their record at home and in spite of their penalty killing so far. |
 | 19 | Stars · Trends | 20 |
| Dallas has actually lost more games than it has won, but the loser points are keeping the Stars in the hunt. |
 | 20 | Rangers · Trends | 22 |
| Little is going right these days, making the great start seem more like an illusion with each passing game. |
 | 21 | Panthers · Trends | 12 |
| If only games lasted 40 minutes. Florida triggered four losses in the third period last week, and has won only four of nine times it has led after two. |
 | 22 | Canadiens · Trends | 25 |
| Montreal finishes the season's second month like the first, as a .500 team that doesn't look playoff bound. |
 | 23 | Islanders · Trends | 23 |
| Josh Bailey responded to being a healthy scratch with a nice offensive surge for the scrappy Isles. |
 | 24 | Ducks · Trends | 27 |
| No one is shutting down Perry and Getzlaf these days, but Anaheim's hole is still pretty deep. |
 | 25 | Maple Leafs · Trends | 30 |
| A trip down south was just what the doctor ordered for the Leafs, who are getting big-time production from Niklas Hagman and Phil Kessel. |
 | 26 | Blue Jackets · Trends | 15 |
| Hard to imagine team defense would be the problem on a Ken Hitchcock coached team. |
 | 27 | Blues · Trends | 24 |
| One reason for the Blues' 4-8-2 record in their own building is their inability to score there. St. Louis has only 28 goals in 14 games at home. |
 | 28 | Wild · Trends | 28 |
| Still a long way to go, but at least the Wild has picked up points in 10 of their past 13 games. |
 | 29 | Oilers · Trends | 26 |
| They can't win on the road lately, or anywhere for that matter. Edmonton's five-game road losing streak is part of a 4-11-3 mark over the past 18 games. |
 | 30 | Hurricanes · Trends | 29 |
| The 'Canes allowed five third-period goals twice over the weekend and still haven't won on the road. |
