Mike Brophy's Power Rankings: November 24, 2008

TW LW Team Our Take
1 1 The Sharks enjoy four days off and then ride Rob Blake's four assist effort to a 7-2 butt-kicking of the Capitals.
2 2 Jiri Hudler scores four goals in three games and has three straight two-point outings during which time he goes plus-5.
3 5 Don't look now, but Marc Savard is tied for second in NHL scoring while his Bruins have not lost in 10 games.
4 8 The Canucks have won three straight and are 7-1-0-2 in their last 10, but goalie Roberto Luongo left Saturday's game with a groin injury. Ouch!
5 4 Sid the Kid suffers through sixth pointless game in 3-1 loss to Vancouver Saturday.
6 3 Two straight losses and only four wins in their last 10 games has coach Tom Renney losing patience with his players. He blew a gasket in Saturday's 4-1 loss in Ottawa.
7 12 David Bolland scores the OT winner against Toronto as the Blackhawks have not lost in regulation in 10 games.
8 9 The Habs are suddenly playing .500 hockey which causes GM Bob Gainey to fly to California to try to convince Mats Sundin to sign with his club.
9 6 Sergei Fedorov returned to the team after missing nine games with a sprained ankle, but Alexander Semin and Mike Green remain sidelined with injuries.
10 7 Two goals and four points in four games since being recalled from the minors is an indication Bobby Ryan wants to remain in the NHL.
11 14 Eric Staal snaps a horrible eight-game goalless drought with three against Phoenix.
12 15 Mike Richards scores the OT winner against Phoenix as the Flyers win their fourth straight.
13 22 Dainius Zubrus pops four goals in a 7-3 win over the Lightning in Tampa Bay.
14 10 The Wild have an NHL-low 28 goals so it is no surprise when they lose 2-1 to St. Louis, a second straight defeat.
15 17 Just when the Flames are starting to feel good about themselves, the Red Wings blow through town and whip them 5-2.
16 16 Steve Mason makes 15 saves to earn his first NHL shutout in a 2-0 win over listless Atlanta.
17 20 The Oilers have dropped four of their last five and the natives are getting restless.
18 27 Chris Mason records the win as Brad Boyes scores twice in a 2-1 win over the Wild to give the Blues back-to-back victories.
19 13 After opening the season 8-2-2, the Sabres are on a 1-6-1 slide with five straight losses.
20 11 Defenceman Shea Weber scores two goals in a 5-2 win over Carolina to give him 10 on he year. He is on pace to score 41.
21 24 Kyle Quincey has proven to be a solid addition for the Kings with 10 points in 16 games.
22 18 The Avs made it eight straight shootout victories in Los Angeles Saturday, but lost defenceman Adam Foote courtesy of a nasty hit from behind.
23 19 Matt Stajan suddenly looks like a legitimate top six forward with 19 points in 19 games.
24 30 The Lightning fall behind 5-0 in a 7-3 loss to New Jersey - a team that has trouble scoring goals.
25 26 Joey MacDonald continues to give the Islanders stellar goaltending.
26 28 The Senators came out gunning Saturday recording the first 13 shots on the game in a 4-1 win over the Rangers.
27 23 Five straight losses has the Coyotes plummeting toward the bottom of the Western Conference.
28 21 Looks like those five straight wins were an aberration. The Thrashers have now dropped three straight.
29 25 The loss of captain Brendan Morrow to a serious knee injury could prove devastating for the underachieving Stars.
30 29 Defenceman Bryan McCabe has nine points in nine games since returning from a back injury.
