NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Rise To Top Of Charts
By Colin Likas

30. Colorado Avalanche
Previous: No. 30
Record: 20-48-3 (43 points)
The Avs probably thought they were well on their way to a huge road win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, going up 3-1 entering the third period. Twenty minutes of game time later, they had allowed an additional five goals. Have to feel a bit bad for goaltender Jeremy Smith, who was making just his seventh NHL appearance.
