The Minnesota Wild, Montreal Canadiens and San Jose Sharks are all tied at No. 5.
The Colorado Avalanche find themselves once again at the bottom of our power rankings.
The Arizona Coyotes and New Jersey Devils are tied for 28th, and ahead of the Vancouver Canucks (No. 27) and Dallas Stars (No. 26).
