5. Chicago Blackhawks

Previous: No. 6

Record: 35-17-5 (75 points)

A five-game win streak gets you the No. 5 spot in these rankings. Sure, the Blackhawks only beat two playoff teams in their last five games, but wins at Minnesota, Winnipeg and Edmonton in succession are worthy of praise, considering past troubles in all three locales.
