NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Stand Pat With Surging Metro Teams

No. 22: Carolina Hurricanes
Previous: No. 26
Record: 28-27-11 (67 points)
There are so many bright spots with this Carolina team. It’s unfortunate they couldn’t piece the entire thing together this season. Bryan Bickell is making a comeback after his Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, currently playing for the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL. The only situation they need to really focus on fixing is goaltending, because Cam Ward is not going to cut it.
