NHL 2022-23 Season Weekly Power Rankings: Monday 10/31

8. Dallas Stars

The Dallas Stars cannot be ignored anymore. After starting the year with three wins, they cannot be ignored as one of the better teams in the league. They shut out the Washington Capitals this past week and played a close game against the Rangers this past week until three third-period goals were scored on Oettinger.

7. Florida Panthers

Florida has dropped out of the top five, mainly due to a loss against the Chicago Blackhawks this past week. The Panthers are a fun team that just played an incredibly fun game against the Ottawa Senators in the first battle of the Tkachuks in the same division.

6. Colorado Avalanche

Colorado is another team that has now dropped out of the top five. During our first week of rankings, the Avs were the top team in the league, fitting for the defending champs. With losses mounting the Avalanche had to drop out of the top five. The Avalanche are on a two-game losing streak having lost to the Islanders and Devils in their last two games.

5. Edmonton Oilers

There is little doubt that the Edmonton Oilers might have some holes in their lineup. They allowed the Chicago Blackhawks to score five goals this past week. However, the important thing with this team is that when they give up five goals, they can score six. The Oilers are on a four game win streak and are second in the Pacific Division in points, a spot they will be battling with Calgary for most of the year.
