There's a new number one team, as the Anaheim Ducks fly to the top of TSN.ca NHL Power Rankings, ahead of the Chicago Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens.
Among teams on the rise, the Minnesota Wild are the league's top possession team early, and are getting great goaltending, resulting in a bump from 10 to six.
The return of Pavel Datsyuk to the Detroit lineup helps the Red Wings move from 17 to 12 while a couple of clubs are defying the odds early.
Both the Calgary Flames and Philadelphia Flyers have unimpressive underlying numbers, but they are managing to tread water, resulting in a five-spot jump to 16 and 17, respectively.
Heading the other way, the San Jose Sharks have been getting mediocre results due to poor puck possession, so they fall from eight to 15, while injuries have conspired to knock the Columbus Blue Jackets down from 14 to 18, one spot ahead of the Ottawa Senators, who drop from 13 to 19.
Among the remaining Canadian teams, the Vancouver Canucks slide a bit, from 11 to 14, the Winnipeg Jets are up, from 29 to 25, and the Edmonton Oilers hold at 27.
