NHL 2022-23 Season Weekly Power Rankings: Monday 11/28
By Jim Lynch
28. San Jose Sharks
We continue our rise to the 28th-best team in the league and are greeted by the San Jose Sharks. One thing going right for the Sharks has to be Erik Karlsson, who leads the team with 32 points in 24 games. This great play could be enough to get Karlsson traded to a new team or could just hurt the Sharks’ draft lottery chances.
27. Buffalo Sabres
Poor Buffalo. After a strong start once again, the Sabres have fallen down to earth with a record of 2-7-1 in their last ten games. The Sabres were 2-1-0 this past week but they still find themselves near the bottom of the standings.
26. Ottawa Senators
When it comes to expectations, the Senators had the highest going into the season. Now some 21 games in they find themselves 8-12-1 with just 17 points. While it is a positive that the team is on a two game win streak, they still are near the bottom of these rankings.
25. Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers were 0-3-1 this past week and currently find themselves with a record of 0-7-3 in their last ten games. After another great start, it looked like John Tortorella might be able to coach his way out of any bad team, but the Flyers have fallen down to earth.
