Not a good week for the Atlantic, what with Phoenix running roughshod through the division.

• Setting sail: Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto
• Sinking ships: Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Islanders.

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.
