NHL 2022-23 Season Weekly Power Rankings: Tuesday 11/15
By Jim Lynch
28. Ottawa Senators
The Ottawa Senators have been struggling. They have won just one game since Oct. 24, when they beat the Dallas Stars. The Senators have backed themselves into a corner, but at least Alex DeBrincat scored a few goals last week.
27. San Jose Sharks
Someone should check on Erik Karlsson to ensure his back is alright from carrying this team. Karlsson has 22 points, including ten goals, in what has been an absolutely incredible run so far for the Sharks. While this team won’t make the playoffs by any means, Karlsson’s points could block San Jose from getting that top prospect they so desperately need.
26. Chicago Blackhawks
The Blackhawks have started to fall down to earth after their incredible 4-2-0 start of the season. They have a 6-6-3 record and their game against the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday did not spark confidence in the future of the team.
25. Buffalo Sabres
It is the same story every year for the Buffalo Sabres, unfortunately. They start off strong and then fall down to earth by mid-November. The team is on a five-game losing streak however, all but one of those losses were against really good teams like Boston, Vegas, Tampa Bay and Carolina.
