1. Washington Capitals

Previous: No. 1

Record: 39-11-6 (84 points)

This team is not falling out of the top spot in our power rankings. I just don’t see it. They’re on a six-game win streak now and have gone 8-2-0 in their last 10 games. Nicklas Backstrom is leading the entire league in points this month with 12 across six games. What an outrageous team. Will it translate to the playoffs for once?
