NHL Weekend Shockers: Penguins’ Turmoil, Sharks’ Rise, and Toronto’s Unthinkable Collapse
3. Carolina Hurricanes (32-15-5, +29) – I loved this breakdown from Jesse Granger, which goes a long way toward answering one of the season’s biggest questions: Who’s this Brandon Bussi guy, and why is he suddenly so good?
2. Tampa Bay Lightning (32-14-4, +46) – Big news in the Other Rankings, where they’ve moved the Lightning into top spot. I can’t argue much, even if they’re still technically a point back of the Red Wings for top spot in the Atlantic. (Tampa has three games in hand.)
1. Colorado Avalanche (35-6-9, +80) – They’ve had three losing streaks since the start of January. Each has only lasted two games, so this isn’t a free-fall. But the Avalanche look like an NHL team again, not one that belongs in some higher super-league. They’ve got the Senators and Canadiens back-to-back this week, and then a home-and-home with Detroit that could be the biggest games between these former rivals in decades.
