NHL 2022-23 Season Weekly Power Rankings: Monday 11/28
By Jim Lynch
8. New York Islanders
The New York Islanders are 15-8-0, including wins in their last four games. This team has been fun to watch, thanks to the great play of Mathew Barzal and Brock Nelson to start the year. Could you imagine how great this team could be with another addition or two at the deadline?
7. Carolina Hurricanes
Carolina did not have the best week going 1-1-2 during that time. They lost against Winnipeg and Boston in overtime, two good teams. However, they lost 4-0 against the Arizona Coyotes in what can only be described as a night where pigs flew.
6. Toronto Maple Leafs
When you knock the net off as much as the Leafs have this past week, you are destined to win some games. In all seriousness, this Leafs team has been great, beating the Devils, Islanders, Penguins and Wild this past week. All four of those teams are good and Toronto showed up.
5. Seattle Kraken
The Seattle Kraken might be the most shocking team of the 2022-23 season. They are 13-5-3 and have won their past five games, including three from this past week. Seattle beat Vegas, Anaheim and San Jose. For this team to make the playoffs, they need to win those divisional matchups, and so far, they have been pretty good.
