NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Still Contending
By Gail Kauchak

No. 11: Ottawa Senators
Previous: No. 12
Record: 26-15-6 (58 points)
The Senators are benefiting from being in the weaker Atlantic Division. They sit in second place in their division with 58 points, while the New York Rangers have the top wild card spot with five more points (63). the Sens blanked the top ranked Capitals 3-0 last Tuesday, but then dropped their Thursday tilt 3-2 in overtime to the Calgary Flames. Needless to say, if they can remain somewhat consistent throughout the rest of the season, they are pretty much assured a playoff slot.
