12. New York Islanders (10)

An 0-2 record last week drops the Islanders a couple of spots. With a 16-10 record on the season, this team is still in a favorable position when it comes to the Eastern Conference playoff picture. With that, I’m not sure that we know yet exactly what this group is all about.

11. Pittsburgh Penguins (15)

The Penguins keep winning games, so they keep moving up on our list. The Pens picked up at least one point in each of their three games last week. With wins over the NHL’s road warriors, the Golden Knights, as well as the Blues, Pittsburgh has been streaking in the last three weeks.

10. Winnipeg Jets (12)

The Jets slipped up once last week, but they’re still playing very well overall. A 5-0 win over the Colorado Avalanche drove home an overall strong week for Winnipeg, and this team is still a top-ten group in the NHL with a record of 15-7-1.

9. Colorado Avalanche (3)

Last season’s champions are still working out the kinks this season. I don’t think anyone is truly worried about the Avs, but blowout losses against the Jets and Boston Bruins take Colorado well out of a top-three spot in our power rankings.
