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

No. 4: Minnesota Wild
Previous: No. 2
Record: 43-18-6 (92 points)
Not everything is perfect at the top, as it turns out. The Wild suddenly have problems beating the Blackhawks (three consecutive losses) after owning them in the regular season for a solid stretch. Minnesota’s one game in hand on Chicago could matter a whole heck of a lot down the stretch.
