Riding high: Detroit, Pittsburgh, Toronto
Flailing: Rangers, Montreal, 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.
