NHL Power Rankings: Which Metro Teams Are Poised for a Shocking Leap This Season?
1. Colorado Avalanche, 19-2-6
Last week: 1

Usually, any discussion about a player taking “the leap” is reserved for younger players; the Avalanche are a little light on those. Still, it’s hard not to be impressed by the step Martin Necas has taken. It’s not just that Necas is scoring at a 100-plus point pace — he’s done that before in stretches — it’s the substance behind it. Necas’ production in Carolina sometimes felt a bit hollow, but this is no empty-calorie production in Colorado. He does have it easy playing with Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, but Necas has still been special in his own right.
