Here come Canada's teams in 7-Eleven Power Rankings

The Western Conference’s top team for the season and the league's best team (20-4-2) February through March took a pre-playoff vacation in April, going winless in four games. 

In the wake of a season-high four-game losing streak, Matt Murray won twice to become the first rookie goalie in franchise history to reach the 30-win mark.

It's a testament to the Blue Jackets' success that a current three-game losing streak (Carolina, Chicago & Washington) is the longest of the season.

A current 14-game point streak (11-0-3) included a home win over Calgary. That comes as little surprise considering they've beaten the Flames an NHL record 25 straight times at home.  

A four-game winning streak just about ensures top spot in the Atlantic. A .956 save percentage in those games says Carey Price is peaking for the playoffs. 

Losing to woeful Colorado isn't great, but the Blues have compiled the NHL’s best record (12-1-2), save percentage (.950) and GAA (1.40) since March 5.  

A win over San Jose clinched a playoff spot and sets the stage for a potentially pivotal showdown when they meet on the second last day of the regular season.

With a late surge from the Isles and Lightning, clinching a playoff spot was anything but easy for the Leafs. But they're going to the playoffs in an 82-game season for the first time since 2003-04.

A recent surge of eight wins in 12 games is largely the result of improved goaltending. The Preds’ goals against average over that span is 2.17. 

The Wild may have righted the ship just in time with four straight wins to close out the season after winning three times in their previous 15 games.

Henrik Lundqvist beat Philadelphia Sunday for his first win in four games since returning from injury and the Rangers hit the 100-point mark for a third straight season.

An improbable three-goal comeback win over Chicago is the highlight of a six-game point streak (5-0-1) that has kept Tampa Bay in the playoff race.

A lack of scoring has been the major reason for eight losses in last 10 games. An average of 1.6 goals per game over that span ranks dead last. 

The Sharks ended a six-game losing streak with an overtime win at home over the Rangers and then promptly lost their next two. 

The Hurricanes struggled in the month of April, losing five of their last six games. Over that span, they allowed 3.5 goals per game, well up from their season average of 2.8. 

The Flyers won four in a row, but a highly improbable last-ditch playoff effort ended Sunday with a loss to the Rangers.

Jaro Halak, back from a near three-month sentencing to the minors, has won all three of his late-season starts. Gives you pause for thought.

The timing isn’t great for Winnipeg’s first four-game winning streak of the season.

Future Hall-of-Famer Jarome Iginla has four games to score the 626th goal of his career and break a tie with Joe Sakic at No. 15 all-time.

Shutouts are rare for the Stars, but Kari Lehtonen earned one Saturday at Carolina and has two of the team's three all season in his last seven starts. 

The Panthers lost four straight games (and fill-in No. 1 goalie James Reimer) as they were officially eliminated from playoff contention.

A .500 record ain’t what it used to be in the NHL, but four wins in their past seven games gives the Sabres a shot.

Arizona beating Washington is the latest reminder it’s foolish to put too much emphasis on so-called strength of schedule. 

Vancouver has scored zero or one goal in six of eight games. The Canucks (2-9-2) are tied with New Jersey for the NHL's worst record since March 7.

The Devils lost nine of their last 10 games to end the season, scoring 1.6 goals per game over that stretch, well below the league’s season average of 2.8. 

If the Avs were to lose their four remaining games, 58 losses would be the most in the NHL since Ottawa lost 59 in 1995-96.
