NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Still Contending
By Gail Kauchak

No. 3: Columbus Blue Jackets
Previous: No. 2
Record: 32-12-4 (68 points)
The Metropolitan Division is where it’s at, as the Blue Jackets are second place in said division, and third in the overall standings. This young and fast team led by head coach John Tortorella has taken the league by storm this year. After winning 16 consecutive games, they’ve come down to earth a little bit in January. In this month, they’ve only strung together two wins in a row. But they have put themselves in a great position moving forward.
