NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Matching Expectations
By Colin Likas

25 of 32
8. New Jersey Devils
Previous: No. 5
Expectation bar: Above
Just Tuesday did the Devils get bumped out of the Metropolitan’s top spot. The last-place team in the East in 2016-17 is just soaring with its mix of incoming young talent and veteran stability. I really don’t know that it can last, but it’s definitely one of the better stories in the league right now.
