NHL 2022-23 Season Weekly Power Rankings: Monday 11/28
By Jim Lynch
16. Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers played three games last week, all on the road against the New York area teams. They lost to the Devils and Islanders but did beat the Rangers. I think losing 5-2 to the Devils is definitely a good measuring stick at what the Oilers need to improve on.
15. Pittsburgh Penguins
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been on a run as of late. Going into their game this past Saturday against Toronto, the team was on a five-game win streak, but that was a really bad effort the Penguins had against the Leafs so they are not going up very much in the rankings.
14. New York Rangers
The Rangers went 1-2-0 this past week, losing to the Oilers and Ducks. Losing to the Ducks is definitely not something many teams should be proud of right now, in fact it was Anaheim’s first regulation win of the season, so that should tell you how the Rangers’ season is going so far.
13. Los Angeles Kings
The Kings did it all this past week. They won a game, lost one and got an overtime point as well. LA beat the Sharks, lost to the Rangers and lost to Ottawa in overtime on Sunday. They have not had the best last two weeks so December is going to be important to get this roster back on track.
