- Chicago Blackhawks: Even with the absence of Corey Crawford this team is at the top of the league there is no way they wouldn’t be number one.
- New York Rangers: This year no one knew how good this team could be. Now we do they will challenge for the best team in the east.
- Pittsburgh Penguins: The reason they aren’t at two? The Penguins goaltending is shaky at times and there seems to be no clear starter.
- Columbus Blue Jackets: Cam Atkinson has 33 points through 30 games that combined with Sergei Bobrovsky stellar Goaltending numbers equals a winning recipe.
- Montreal Canadiens: Carey Price I keep saying it, if he gets injured this team is done, until then they have a shot to contend for a title.
- Washington Capitals
- Minnesota Wild
- Philadelphia Flyers: Why aren’t they higher? Before there winning tear this team was garbage what’s to say they won’t sink to that level again?
- Ottawa Senators
- Edmonton Oilers: Fast? Yes Exciting? Yes Consistent? Nope, so they reside at ten will see you at the New Year’s half season mark.
