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

No. 5: Columbus Blue Jackets
Previous: No. 4
Record: 44-18-6 (94 points)
The BJs have a serious shot at overtaking Washington for the Metropolitan Division lead (don’t forget Pittsburgh, of course), as well as the NHL’s goal differential lead (plus-59 to plus-66; Minnesota is at plus-60). Guessing they care more about the former goal.
