The 7-Eleven Power Rankings - Spirit of St. Louis

The Lightning weren’t kind to former teammate Ben Bishop, pumping in six goals on his return to Tampa Bay. His replacement, Andrei Vasilevskiy (14-2-1, 2.34 goals-against average), allowed just one. 

The Jets have points in 12 of their last 13 games and are the NHL's second-best in goal differential (1.37 - behind TAM). Captain Blake Wheeler has 25 points and is tied for seventh in NHL scoring.

Six wins in a row has put some space between the Maple Leafs and the .500 mark, with two shutouts by Frederik Anderson. Auston Matthews returned to the lineup Saturday to score two goals.

A couple of letdowns in two losses this week. They allowed an OT goal with three seconds remaining in Toronto and they allowed three goals in 1:35 in a defensive collapse to Winnipeg. 

The Blue Jackets have won three straight thanks to Sergei Bobrovsky, who's tied with Corey Crawford for the NHL's best save percentage (.933) and blanked the Rangers on Friday.

Nashville’s averaging four goals per game in November, second most in the NHL. Ten players have at least five points while Ryan Johansen had a three-point night on Thursday.

Vegas is on a seven-game home winning streak, the longest in the NHL this season. They're also averaging 3.58 goals scored per game – fourth best in the league. Malcolm Subban returns from injured reserve.

The Kings lost the first four games of a five-game homestand, failing to score more than two goals in any of them. After starting the season 11-2-2, they have now gone 1-5-0.

The Isles have scored at least five goals in three straight games for the first time since 1996. Anders Lee (18 points in past 13 games) and rookie Mathew Barzal (17 in 13) are on a tear.

An injury to Mike Smith wasn’t serious as he returned to beat last season’s goalie, Brian Elliott, 5-4 in OT in Philadelphia, where Sean Monahan recorded his first NHL hat trick. 

Since winning two games in Sweden against Colorado, they’ve lost three straight while scoring just three total goals. And former Avalanche Matt Duchene has yet to register a point with Ottawa.

Away losses of 6-2 and 6-3 illustrate the problems they've had with road defence, allowing 4.00 goals per game, third worst in the NHL. Evgeny Kuznetsov leads the Caps in scoring with 23 points.

A 2-1 win over Pittsburgh was the eighth consecutive for Chicago over the two-time defending Stanley Cup champs. Artem Anisimov got a hat trick against the Rangers, the team that drafted him in 2006.

Little Caesar's Arena is getting kinder to the Wings. They’ve earned points there in five in a row, including an 8-2 thrashing of Calgary. Andreas Athanasiou has five goals in 11 games. 

A 3-1 loss in Washington ended a four-game winning streak that saw six goals scored by Jason Zucker and three consecutive shutouts by Devan Dubnyk. 

John Gibson allowed two goals to Boston on 42 shots and two goals to Florida on 52 shots - both for home wins this week and tying their longest win streak of the season. 

Teuvo Terevainen leads Carolina (now 4-1-1 after dropping four straight) in November scoring with 13 points and doubled his goal output on the season with a hat trick against Dallas. 

Kari Lehtonen allowed a short-handed goal, power play goal and even-strength goal over 3:48 span against Edmonton before being pulled. The Stars rallied and won 6-3 with Ben Bishop in relief. 

The Sharks have the best GAA in November at 1.86 and the third-best save percentage at .932. But they've also scored just two goals per game for the month and have lost two straight.

The Avalanche were 28th in home goals for per game last year at 2.32. This year, they are tied for first with 4.63 per game and fifth best in overall scoring with 3.42 per game.

Vancouver has been better on the road than at home. They have just one win in their last five at home (they lost in OT to the Blues Saturday) and are 3-5-3 at Rogers Arena, compared to 6-3-0 on the road.

The Flyers, who have lost four straight, have been shut out this season a league-leading five times, three of those games in November already. They were shut out eight times all of last season. 

The Bruins won consecutive games for the first time this season and they did it in style, with Anton Khudobin (5-0-2, .935 SV%) winning 2-1 in Los Angeles and 3-1 in San Jose. 

The Habs were showing signs of improvement, but suffered two embarrassing home losses to Arizona and Toronto. The positive is that Carey Price (3-7-1, .877 save percentage) is skating again.

Only Arizona and Buffalo have worse records. The bright spot for a team that's scoring just an average of 2.50 goals per game (27th) remains Connor McDavid, moving up to sixth in scoring with 25 points.

Roberto Luongo earned his 74th career shutout in San Jose, good for 11th all-time and the most among active goalies. He also earned his 457th win - fourth all-time in the NHL. 

It took until their 21st game, but the Coyotes finally won their first game in regulation in Montreal. They then won two in a row for the first time this season, this time in Ottawa (3-2 in overtime).
