NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks’ Win Streak Means Small Move
By Colin Likas

No. 25: New York Islanders
Previous: No. 27
Record: 19-17-9 (47 points)
New York’s slight rise in the rankings doesn’t have as much to do with it playing well as it does with other teams faring poorly. Though the Isles have responded a bit to Doug Weight taking over behind the bench, winning two of three games and getting a point out of the third. It at least pulled them out of the East basement (for now).
