NHL Power Rankings Shake-Up: Why the Wild’s Top 5 Surge Could Change the Playoff Race Forever
31. Calgary Flames, 8-14-3

A lot of things have gone predictably wrong for the Flames, so it is worth noting one thing that has gone right: Kevin Bahl. Calgary signed him to a big deal last summer, and so far, he’s living up to it with a material defensive jump. His plus-2.5 Defensive Rating leads all Flames players and is among the top marks in the league.
32. Nashville Predators, 7-12-4

Luke Evangelista is one of Nashville’s best scorers — which should tell you everything you need to know about the Predators this season. He’s had a decent first quarter, but that Evangelista is going from side dish to main course in Nashville is not an ideal sign for this team’s immediate future.
