But two victories over the Blackhawks and one over Buffalo does not lessen the super status of Shesterkin's stellar play. Yes, Igor Shesterkin was sidelined by lower-body injury earlier this month. Just one more example of the Ducks flying well past all previous expectations for this season. Through 30 games, Anaheim was the only team landing in the top five in the power play (25.3%) and penalty kill (86.7%). The Ducks have been among the NHL's best all-around clubs on special teams. You could argue Trevor Zegras might have actual superpowers after that "Michigan" goal, but I digress.
Even after a lopsided shutout loss in Ottawa and amid penalty kill struggles, there's little doubt the Lightning will rally. How many teams could be dealt Tampa's hand and still thrive? The injuries (Kucherov! Point! Cirelli! Cernak! Bogosian!) have piled up and the Lightning have made no excuses. Colorado scored five or more goals in 10 of its first 24 games and recently went three straight games with seven goals scored in each. The Avalanche have the best 5-on-5 shooting percentage in the league (10.5%), so it's no surprise they also average the most goals per game (4.32). Who needs to go on a power play when you can do all that? 6. During its recent eight-game win streak, Minnesota allowed the second fewest 5-on-5 goals in the league in that span (10). Through 28 games, the Wild had scored the second-most 5-on-5 goals (68) and had the third-best 5-on-5 shooting percentage (9.7%). Minnesota is tough to beat at even strength. Next, it's William Nylander tickling the twine. One night it'll be Auston Matthews dangling through the D. The Leafs don't have (or need) a single MVP.
Carolina is top 10 in goals, the league's best in goals against, sits over 20% on the power play, is top three on the penalty kill, has a star in Sebastian Aho and is getting Frederik Andersen's best work in years. There are no real glaring holes for the Hurricanes. When one area isn't firing as well - like the power play lately - the penalty kill aligns to keep pucks out of the net. They have not lost consecutive games in regulation and they have not been shut out this season. Over half of the team's roster is in double-digit point totals, the Panthers have been limiting shots against and Sergei Bobrovsky is rebounding admirably. How have the Panthers stayed elite? Depth of contributions. Anthony Duclair has been in and out of the lineup. Aleksander Barkov missed 11 of Florida's first 27 games. Points percentages are through Tuesday's games. Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to last week's edition, published on Dec. How we rank: A panel of ESPN hockey commentators, analysts, reporters and editors rates teams against one another - taking into account game results, injuries and upcoming schedule - and those results are tabulated to produce the list featured here. And for the second straight week - and fifth time this season - the Florida Panthers top our list.īut every team from one through 32 has at least one thing at which they excel, and we took this opportunity to identify every team's "superpower" too. It's certainly been a tumultuous start to the week, given a slew of additional game postponements due to COVID-19 - and many players and team staff entering the protocol - but the Power Rankings march on.
