Buffalo’s Surprising Edge: What Early NHL Weekend Rankings Reveal—and What They Conceal
4. Philadelphia Flyers (0-1-1, -2) — The early schedule is tough, and a pair of one-goal losses is something you can maybe build on. Dan Vladar looked great in the opener, and even halfway decent goaltending would solve a lot of problems for this team.
3. Pittsburgh Penguins (2-1-0, -1) — They looked good through two games, and somewhat less good Saturday against the Rangers in Mike Sullivan’s return. Ah, well, Evgeni Malkin’s leading the league in scoring was fun while it lasted.

2. San Jose Sharks (0-0-2, -2) — Two losses, but 2 points, and an early game-of-the-year candidate against the Ducks that made fans of Team Chaos stand up and take notice.
