NHL Power Rankings: Yes way, San Jose

TW	LW	Team	Our Take
1	1	(36-10-9)	With the Caps breathing down their backs, the Sharks just keep rolling along.
2	2	(37-12-6)	It doesn't matter who's in net for the Caps when they score at a five-goals-per-game clip.
3	3	(37-14-4)	The Hawks are the latest victims of the rising Hurricanes.
4	8	(34-18-2)	The Sedins and Alex Burrows lead the way as the Canucks stage a monster third-period comeback in Toronto.
5	9	(33-18-5)	The Coyotes have won four straight and have limited the opposition to two goals in each of the past three games.
6	12	(32-14-7)	Back-to-back 2-1 victories over New Jersey and Boston have the Sabres moving in the right direction again.
7	6	(35-17-2)	It is a huge concern to Canadian hockey fans that Martin Brodeur has lost seven of his last 10 games with the Olympics just around the corner.
8	10	(33-19-3)	The Kings have won six straight including five in a row on the road.
9	11	(31-21-4)	Jason Spezza has goals in six straight games including all four since returning from injury.
10	7	(34-21-1)	Evgeni Malkin is starting to heat up with 12 points in seven games.
11	4	(30-18-6)	The upstart Avs are suddenly having trouble finding the net during a three-game losing streak.
12	12	(30-21-3)	Nothing says team play like your top four scorers all knotted with 33 points.
13	19	(24-20-11)	Brad Richards' 15 points since Dec. 30 are more than nine members of the Canadian men's Olympic team have produced in that span.
14	14	(26-19-10)	A 3-3-4 run in their last 10 games has left the Red Wings on the outside of the playoffs looking in.
15	16	(27-20-8)	Even a win over lowly Edmonton wasn't enough to prevent GM Darryl Sutter from overhauling his underachieving club.
16	13	(27-23-3)	Goaltending continues to be a concern for the so-so Flyers.
17	21	(27-24-4)	Martin Havlat is starting to heat up, but the Wild still needs more out of him if they hope to make the playoffs.
18	22	(24-22-9)	David Booth played 12:55 and had an assist in his first game back from the horrific concussion he suffered after being nailed by Mike Richards on Oct. 24.
19	22	(25-23-7)	The Ducks are the latest team to roll the dice on Jason Blake in hopes he can rediscover the scoring touch that allowed him to score 40 goals three years ago for the Islanders.
20	24	(24-22-9)	Andy McDonald has produced points in seven straight games for the suddenly-competitive Blues.
21	26	(24-22-8)	With four goals in eight games Rich Peverley is showing signs of shaking himself out of his funk.
22	17	(25-25-6)	The loss of top scorer Michael Cammalleri could crush the Habs playoff hopes.
23	18	(25-24-7)	GM Glen Sather is working at getting top scorer Marian Gaborik some scoring support.
24	25	(22-21-11)	GM Brian Lawton needs to get this team some help on the blueline if the playoffs are to become a reality.
25	20	(23-25-8)	The dream season hits a snag with five straight losses.
26	27	(22-26-9)	Easy to see why a team like the Jackets are struggling when their top 16 scorers are a combined minus-149.
27	23	(23-21-9)	Marc Savard has assists in each of his first two games back from injury.
28	29	(19-28-7)	With Eric Staal and Cam Ward healthy, the Hurricanes are playing like one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference.
29	28	(17-28-11)	The Leafs add a stud in Dion Phaneuf to their blueline.
30	30	(16-31-6)	With the season lost, GM Steve Tambellini must start building towards next year.
