NHL Power Rankings: Which Teams Are Lighting Up the Ice and Which Are Hanging by a Thread After a Quarter Season
9. New York Islanders, 12-7-2
Last week: 22
Sean: 8
Dom: 10
Green flag: Bo Horvat has been one of the NHL’s best players
Horvat isn’t just tied for second in the league in goals, with 14 — he’s carrying around an average Game Score of 1.7, comfortably in the top 10, and a Net Rating higher than Connor McDavid and Macklin Celebrini, among many others. That’ll keep him in the Olympic discussion.
Red flag: Alex Romanov has been one of the NHL’s worst players
Down at the absolute bottom of the Net Rating list is Romanov, with a minus-6.6. Mix that in with the upper-body injury he sustained when Mikko Rantanen drove him into the net, and it’s tough not to feel bad for the guy.
