Since we only had six entries in this weeks NHL power rankings, we didn’t drop the highest and lowest totals for each team.
To get our consensus NHL Power Rankings Week 6 point total, we awarded the top team 30 points, the second team 29 points, third team 28 points, etc.
** Keep in mind the dates the rankings were posted, and in some cases, they may have been submitted to their editors the day before it was posted. Different outlets use different factors in determining their rankings. **
