NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Tumble On Skid

17. Colorado Avalanche

Previous: No. 20

The wheels haven’t come off the Avs just yet, boosted primarily by a 4-1-0 mark at the Pepsi Center. The team hasn’t gotten good goaltending from either Semyon Varlamov or Jonathan Bernier, so its needed to rely on balanced scoring. Youngster Mikko Rantanen leads that charge with 10 points in 11 games, but he’s also a team-worst minus-7.
