NHL 2022-23 Season Weekly Power Rankings: Monday 1/9

28. Montreal Canadiens (28)

Fans knew that this wasn’t going to be an easy season for the Montreal Canadiens, and here they are. A win against the St. Louis Blues at the end of the week put a stop to a stretch of seven games without a victory.

The Habs would move down if the teams below them weren’t struggling just as much.

27. Arizona Coyotes (26)

Compared to what this franchise usually puts on the ice, I find the 2022-2023 Arizona Coyotes to be one of the scrappier rosters that fans have seen in the desert. With that said, the Yotes have lost five games in a row, including four last week, so there’s no upward movement here.

26. Vancouver Canucks (25)

The Canucks continue to be an intriguing team. The talent is plentiful, but so are the trade rumors. This team only went 1-2 last week, so it drops a spot, but the long-term uncertainty is what keeps Vancouver this low.

25. Philadelphia Flyers (27)

Give the Philadelphia Flyers some credit, as they have enjoyed a productive stretch in the last couple of weeks. Prior to Sunday’s loss at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Philly had won four straight contests.
