The Dallas Stars continue to hold the top spot in the TSN.ca NHL Power Rankings, ahead of the Washington Capitals and St. Louis Blues.
Decisive victories have been the calling card of the Stars this season, as their past four wins have come by a combined margin of 15 goals.
The Minnesota Wild are up from nine to six and the Tampa Bay Lightning are up from 16 to 13. The Colorado Avalanche, going from 24 to 21, and Calgary Flames, from 26 to 23, are among the big movers up the board this week.
Falling the wrong way, the Montreal Canadiens crash from four to 10, and the Anaheim Ducks can't get out of their early-season funk and slide from 20 to 24.
When it comes to the remaining Canadian teams, the Ottawa Senators drop one to 14, while the Winnipeg Jets lose three spots to 18. The Edmonton Oilers are up one, to 22, the Toronto Maple Leafs are up two, to 25, and the Vancouver Canucks are down one, to 29.
