NHL Power Rankings: Unexpected Upsets and Rookie Revelations Shake Up the Season
1. Colorado Avalanche, 12-1-5

Last season, the Avalanche had a major second-pair problem; with Josh Manson and Sam Girard on the ice, Colorado was outscored 26-16. Enter a very old, very large solution: Playing primarily alongside Manson, 41-year-old Brent Burns is handling business to the tune of a 57 percent goal share and a 63 percent expected goal share. Those aren’t particularly great numbers for the Avs, but they’re more than good enough.
2. Dallas Stars, 11-4-3
Last week: 9
