NHL Power Rankings: Team Rankings 2024

This week’s NHL power rankings see teams like the Stars, Rangers, and Bruins at the top of the list (and having some of the best Stanley Cup odds), while teams like the Avalanche, Panthers, and Flyers have dropped.

Let’s now dive into this week’s power rankings.

NHL Power Rankings 2024

1. Stars

The Stars hold the top spot in our power rankings for the second week in a row. They are the hottest team in hockey right now, winning nine out of their last 10 games. They are looking like real contenders in the Western Conference, and teams should be afraid to face them in the playoffs. 

3. Hurricanes 

The Hurricanes are another top-tier club that is getting hot at the right time. They currently are sporting a three-game winning streak and have won seven out of their last 10 games. They have simply been dominant, and their goal will be to translate it to the playoffs. 

15. Islanders

The Islanders have been playing marvelously down the stretch. Their playoff hopes seemed slim not too long ago. However, due to a five-game winning streak, they are now third in the Metropolitan Division. With four games left in the season, there’s a real shot that they will be playing postseason hockey. 

20. Flyers

It has been a heartbreaking end of the season for the Flyers. After having a comfortable hold on the third-place spot in the Metropolitan Division almost all year, they have fallen back down to Earth at the worst possible time. The rebuilding squad has lost eight straight games and now is behind the Islanders, Capitals, Penguins, and Red Wings in the wild card race. The Flyers have also played one more game than each team, so their playoff hopes have dropped dramatically.
