NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Hold Firm Despite Win Streak
By Gail Kauchak

No. 9: Ottawa Senators
Previous: No. 12
Record: 36-22-6 (78 points)
This team has won three in a row, including an important divisional tilt against the Boston Bruins on Monday night. With this last win, the Senators are four points up on the Bruins, instead of being tied with them. This is a huge momentum swing for the Sens. They still hold second place in the Atlantic Division.
