The 7-Eleven Power Rankings: Nashville road warriors still No. 1

Pekka Rinne leads the league with a .949 save percentage to go along with his 6-1-0 record. The Preds are on a five-game winning streak, outscoring their opponents 18-7, and have yet to lose on the road.

The Lightning ended their four-game winning streak (6-4 loss to Ottawa on Sunday) but still managed to score four goals for the fifth consecutive time. They lead the league in goals for per game at 3.65.

David Pastrnak had a hat trick against Toronto and leads the league with 16 goals. Jaroslav Halak, who made 40 saves in the same game, is a surprise 6-1-2 with an NHL second-best .945 save percentage.

The Canucks lost in a shootout to Buffalo but still extended their point streak to six games (4-0-2). Jake Virtanen and rookie Elias Pettersson lead the way during the streak with five goals each.

Tomas Tatar didn’t work out well in Vegas last season, but he’s worked out just fine in Montreal. He scored his seventh goal of the year, the winner in a 5-4 victory over his former team.

The Flyers, led by Claude Giroux’s 22 points for seventh in NHL scoring, have turned around a 4-7-0 start with a six-game point streak (5-0-1) that featured Brian Elliott’s first shutout of the season.  

With a 3-1 win over Calgary Sunday, the Sharks ended a dubious and curious streak of nine straight games when they allowed three or four goals a game. Martin Jones (8-4-1) stopped 29 shots in the win.

David Rittich (5-1-0) recorded his first career shutout in a 1-0 defeat of L.A. to give the Flames their fifth win in six games. Calgary is allowing just 2.18 goals per game on the road, third best in the NHL.

The Blue Jackets scored three goals in 4:14 against the Rangers to overcome a two-goal deficit and take the lead but still lost in the shootout. They’re currently on a four-game point streak (2-0-2).

Jason Spezza scored a goal in his 1,000th NHL game but it wasn’t enough for the Stars who fell to the Predators in overtime. Dallas averages 3.89 goals for per game at home and just 1.88 on the road.

The return of Roberto Luongo after being injured in Florida’s first game of the season has turned around the Panthers’ fortunes. He’s started three times and the team won all three games.

The Caps' power-play percentage of 31.5 is second only to Winnipeg. Nicklas Backstrom and Evgeny Kuznetsov have 11 power play points each, and John Carlson and Alex Ovechkin each have 10.

A minor injury to Antti Raanta resulted in a minor losing streak. The Coyotes, who were 2-12-2 after 16 games last season, lost three in row and allowed 14 goals before Darcy Kuemper righted the ship.

After a solid 7-2-2 mark, the Avs suffered through a five-game losing skid (0-4-1) and allowed 25 goals. They ended it with a 4-1 win in Edmonton with two points from NHL scoring leader Mikko Rantanen.

A 4-0 shutout over Arizona was Casey DeSmith’s second of the season and ended a five-game winless streak (0-5-1) when the Pens were outscored 20-6. He has an NHL third-best .942 save percentage.

The Rangers continued their shootout dominance to go 4-0 on the season. All three of their road wins have come in the shootout and Kevin Shattenkirk leads the league with three goals in three chances.

The Islanders lost both of their games in Florida by a score of 4-2 to end their seven-game point streak (5-0-2). They had won three in a row on the road prior to that with a 14-5 scoring margin.

Leon Draisaitl had three goals as they lost three straight on the road and were outscored 13-5. Back home they lost again and Connor McDavid has been held pointless twice in his last three games.

The 'Canes have just one win in their last seven games but have also lost twice in OT during that span despite having over 50 shots in each of those games. Scott Darling has just one win in four starts.

Chad Johnson allowed one goal against Carolina and then shut out San Jose in just his second and third starts of the season. Overall, the improving Blues have won four of their last six games.

A couple of curious items in Detroit’s three-game winning streak, besides just having a three-game winning streak: All were in extra time and in each game they overcame multiple-goal deficits.

One of their problems is that they're only 3-8-0 on the road and rank 27th in away goals scored at just 2.20. Last year they averaged 2.98 goals on the road. Max Pacioretty has just two points in 14 games.

The Ducks are 2-7-2 since Oct. 18 and haven’t scored more three goals in any of those games. They rank 30th in goals scored per game at 2.28 and rank 10th in goals against at 2.83.

Here's something to discuss on your next Uber ride: Not only is the Ottawa penalty killing bad, it’s historically bad. They're at 67.2% – dead last. The NHL record is 67.7% (L.A. in 1979-80).

After a successful early-season record that featured a heavy home schedule, the sliding Devils fared poorly on a seven-game road trip, losing six of those games and allowing 33 goals in the losses.

Firing three-time Stanley Cup-winning coach Joel Quenneville didn’t pay immediate dividends for the Blackhawks. They lost their first two games without him to extend their losing skid to seven.

A 1-0 loss to Calgary was the first time the Kings had been shut out this season but it was the seventh time they failed to score more than one goal. They have a league-worst 2.06 goals for per game.
