Our NHL Power Rankings, 2026–27

These are our own rankings, computed from this season's results, not the AP or coaches' polls. Every game is a link from the loser to the winner, weighted by the margin (capped at 3 goals). Teams are ranked by their centrality in that network (PageRank), so beating teams that beat good teams counts most. How it works
