NHL 2022-23 Season Weekly Power Rankings: Monday 11/28
By Jim Lynch
24. Nashville Predators
The Nashville Predators finished this past week with a record of 1-1-0, beating the Arizona Coyotes and losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning. This looks like a season where Nashville is going to finally miss out on the playoffs after a lot of success in the past handful of years. Thanks to the great play of so many other teams, it is hard to imagine Nashville getting into the postseason again.
23. Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals lost to the New Jersey Devils and beat the Calgary Flames this past week. Their 5-1 loss to the Devils shows where they stand against a really good team and is why they fall out of the top 20 this week.
22. Vancouver Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks find themselves on a three-game win streak against a few really good teams. They first beat the Colorado Avalanche, then the Vegas Golden Knights, and finally the San Jose Sharks to finish out the week. Vancouver is still far out of a playoff spot and has struggled, but this past week was really good for them.
21. Calgary Flames
The Calgary Flames have lost three straight games, all on the road against Pittsburgh, Washington and Carolina. This team has not been great but luckily will be back at home tonight against the Florida Panthers. Calgary needs to start winning more games consistently.
