You might have noticed I have only been doing this every two weeks, as they really don’t change too much one week to the next.

• Setting sail: Chicago, Anaheim, Carolina
• Sinking ships: Detroit, Colorado, Buffalo, Minnesota, Tampa Bay

How it works: First, each team is ranked 1 through 30 in power play, penalty kill, even-strength play, regulation play, and last 10 games. Those ranks are then added together to get the overall score. Thus, the lower the total, the better the power ranking.
