The Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils continue to pile up the points, while the defending Stanley Cup champ Colorado Avalanche suffered a major injury blow this week with the news that Nathan MacKinnon would miss time. Recent additions on the ice and behind the bench have done their fair share to influence their new teams — or have disappointed. And a new class of superstars has emerged, from Jason Robertson to Tage Thompson to Matty Beniers and many more.

It might be tough to sum up the first two months of the 2022-23 NHL season in just one word per team, but along with this week’s Power Rankings, we’ve attempted to do just that.

How we rank: A panel of ESPN hockey commentators, analysts, reporters and editors rates teams against one another — taking into account game results, injuries and upcoming schedule — and those results are tabulated to produce the list featured here.

Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to the most recent edition, published Dec. 2. Points paces are through Thursday’s games.

Previous ranking: 1
Points percentage: 86.00%
Next seven days: @ ARI (Dec. 9), @ VGK (Dec. 11), vs. NYI (Dec. 13), vs. LA (Dec. 15)

Commanding. How else to describe a Boston team that hasn’t dropped back-to-back decisions all season or slid out of a top-three spot in the standings? The Bruins have been a consistent force since Game 1.

Previous ranking: 2
Points percentage: 82.69%
Next seven days: vs. NYI (Dec. 9), @ NYR (Dec. 12), vs. DAL (Dec. 13), vs. PHI (Dec. 15)

Magnificent. Truly, it’s hard to pick a single term for the Devils. What can really capture the ride New Jersey has been on? A 13-game win streak was impressive enough. But the Devils are multidimensional, their success hardly predicated on any one element or one player or one position.

Previous ranking: 6
Points percentage: 71.43%
Next seven days: vs. CGY (Dec. 10), vs. ANA (Dec. 13), @ NYR (Dec. 15)

Fascinating. Somehow Toronto went from a mediocre start — with a near-full complement of healthy players available — to a 12-game point streak amid losing three-quarters of its top four defensemen and both goalies to injury. Quite a turnaround.

Previous ranking: 10
Points percentage: 70.00%
Next seven days: @ CHI (Dec. 9), vs. WSH (Dec. 11), vs. VGK (Dec. 13), vs. NSH (Dec. 15)

Renewed. These aren’t last season’s Jets. New coach Rick Bowness has earned buy-in on the defensive side that’s translated to consistent effort — and success — for Winnipeg in becoming one of the league’s top teams. Connor Hellebuyck playing like a Vezina Trophy contender hasn’t hurt, either.

Previous ranking: 5
Points percentage: 66.00%
Next seven days: @ WSH (Dec. 9), @ FLA (Dec. 11), @ TB (Dec. 13), @ CAR (Dec. 15)

Striking. The Kraken bolted their way into the top 10 with an incredible 11-2-1 run through November into early December that went widely underreported. But give Seattle its flowers — even after a couple of losses — because the second-year squad has come a long way from its modest rookie-season roots.

Previous ranking: 3
Points percentage: 69.64%
Next seven days: vs. PHI (Dec. 9), vs. BOS (Dec. 11), @ WPG (Dec. 13), @ CHI (Dec. 15)

Convincing. Vegas answered its doubters early and often after missing the playoffs last season. Logan Thompson has been excellent in net. Jack Eichel — prior to a recent injury — looked even better than his old self. Defensively, the team pulled together. Even when Vegas shows its inconsistencies — as it has more lately — that foundation is bound to keep it in good standing.

Previous ranking: 8
Points percentage: 65.39%
Next seven days: @ NYI (Dec. 10), @ DET (Dec. 13), vs. SEA (Dec. 15)

Diligent. Carolina started hot, cooled off and recently caught fire with a four-game win streak that’s helped propel it back up the standings. The Hurricanes might not be blowing teams out (and will drop the occasional dud, like an overtime loss to Anaheim), but they stick to the plan and earn results.

Previous ranking: 4
Points percentage: 64.81%
Next seven days: vs. DET (Dec. 10), @ PIT (Dec. 12), @ NJ (Dec. 13), @ WSH (Dec. 15)

Electrifying. And that’s just Jason Robertson. The Stars are fun, flashy and have gone toe-to-toe with just about everyone (that shutout against Toronto being a rare exception). Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin have been resurgent, Jake Oettinger has played great, and the Robertson-led top line makes Dallas appointment viewing.

Previous ranking: 11
Points percentage: 61.54%
Next seven days: @ BUF (Dec. 9), vs. BUF (Dec. 10), vs. DAL (Dec. 12), @ FLA (Dec. 15)

Experience. As in, there’s no substitute for it. Pittsburgh has gone through its lulls — and one well-documented seven-game winless streak — to come out the other side with more consistent good habits to put it back in the league’s top tier.

Previous ranking: 15
Points percentage: 59.62%
Next seven days: @ DAL (Dec. 10), vs. CAR (Dec. 13), @ MIN (Dec. 14)

Refined. The Red Wings have significantly improved from being one of the league’s worst defensive teams a year ago. New coach Derek Lalonde has helped Detroit gain some polish, and GM Steve Yzerman’s additions — particularly netminder Ville Husso — have seriously moved the needle. The Red Wings require more consistency but have come a long way.

Previous ranking: 21
Points percentage: 54.17%
Next seven days: vs. OTT (Dec. 10), @ STL (Dec. 12), vs. EDM (Dec. 13), @ WPG (Dec. 15)

Patient. Nashville just goes about its business. The Predators weren’t getting hero-like goaltending from Juuse Saros, which hurt them early on, but lately Nashville has started to gain real traction and bank some solid victories.

Previous ranking: 9
Points percentage: 59.26%
Next seven days: @ NJ (Dec. 9), vs. CAR (Dec. 10), @ BOS (Dec. 13)

Stable. The Islanders have established a formula: excellent goaltending behind full-team defense supported by enough solid offense and special teams to get the job done. More often than not, it’s getting good results.

Previous ranking: 13
Points percentage: 62.00%
Next seven days: vs. FLA (Dec. 10), vs. SEA (Dec. 13), vs. CBJ (Dec. 15)

Steady. The Lightning embody that not-too-high-or-too-low cliche. They’ve scaled a few mountains, after all. Tampa Bay’s season started out rocky, but now the Lightning are winning more often when they should. Confidence appears to be building. Full steam ahead.

Previous ranking: 16
Points percentage: 56.00%
Next seven days: @ EDM (Dec. 9), @ VAN (Dec. 10), vs. EDM (Dec. 12), vs. DET (Dec. 14)

Adaptive. Minnesota turned the page on its slow start thanks to more complete team efforts and a record-setting (not to mention exhilarating-to-watch) Kirill Kaprizov, who now owns the longest goal and point streak in Wild history. GM Bill Guerin’s addition of Ryan Reaves to the mix is paying big dividends, too. Sometimes small changes can have a big impact.

Previous ranking: 14
Points percentage: 55.17%
Next seven days: @ MTL (Dec. 10), @ CBJ (Dec. 11), @ BUF (Dec. 13), @ BOS (Dec. 15)

Chaotic. L.A. has been all over the map, even more than usual lately. The overtime losses started building — like that mind-bending 9-8 defeat against Seattle — and the Cal Petersen drama was unexpected. The Kings need some wins, especially against good teams, on their current road swing.

Previous ranking: 18
Points percentage: 55.77%
Next seven days: @ CBJ (Dec. 9), @ TOR (Dec. 10), @ MTL (Dec. 12), vs. VAN (Dec. 14)

Streaky. The Flames posted consecutive wins only two times from late October to early December. They’ve vacillated on the ice from close loss to blowout win in 48 hours, and they recently shuffled in net from 2022 Vezina Trophy runner-up Jacob Markstrom to backup Dan Vladar. Who knows what’s next?

Previous ranking: 7
Points percentage: 56.25%
Next seven days: vs. NYR (Dec. 9), @ STL (Dec. 11), vs. PHI (Dec. 13), vs. BUF (Dec. 15)

Star-crossed. The reigning Stanley Cup champs cannot catch a break with injuries. It started with Gabriel Landeskog requiring surgery before the season even started and snowballed into a laughably long list of sidelined skaters that now includes Nathan MacKinnon. No surprise the losses are beginning to pile up.

Previous ranking: 12
Points percentage: 55.56%
Next seven days: vs. MIN (Dec. 9), @ MIN (Dec. 12), @ NSH (Dec. 13), vs. STL (Dec. 15)

Satisfactory. Edmonton is humming along on the backs of its top players without necessarily blowing anyone away. Which is fine. Jack Campbell‘s struggles in net have certainly slowed the Oilers down at times, but there’s plenty of talent there to keep them on track.

Previous ranking: 17
Points percentage: 55.36%
Next seven days: @ COL (Dec. 9), vs. NJ (Dec. 12), vs. TOR (Dec. 15)

Perplexing. New York’s season has been as head-scratching as its recent six-game run that included losses to Anaheim, Ottawa and Chicago. The Rangers have been an up-and-down .500 team when expectations were high that they’d pick up where last season ended — as enforcers of the East. There’s still time.

Previous ranking: 19
Points percentage: 55.56%
Next seven days: @ TB (Dec. 10), vs. SEA (Dec. 11), vs. CBJ (Dec. 13), vs. PIT (Dec. 15)

Fickle. Those Florida felines have fooled us a few times, following up runs of great hockey with confounding losses. But hey, these Panthers are never dull.

Previous ranking: 23
Points percentage: 53.85%
Next seven days: vs. LA (Dec. 10), vs. CGY (Dec. 12), @ OTT (Dec. 14), vs. ANA (Dec. 15)

Surprising. Montreal has turned heads. The team’s combination of forward talents — led by Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield — has challenged opponents and made the Canadiens an entertaining, unexpectedly successful group. Can they carry that momentum through midseason? Time will tell.

Previous ranking: 27
Points percentage: 48.08%
Next seven days: vs. PIT (Dec. 9), @ PIT (Dec. 10), vs. LA (Dec. 13), @ COL (Dec. 15)

Enlightening. Buffalo is learning on the job. Fueled by their rising stars (Tage Thompson, anyone?), the Sabres have stumbled and shone, struggled and recovered. It’s all part of the growth process from which Buffalo will benefit in the future.

Previous ranking: 24
Points percentage: 50.00%
Next seven days: vs. MIN (Dec. 10), @ CGY (Dec. 14)

Turbulent. Vancouver has had issues across the board. Lengthy winless streak? Check. Coaching uncertainty? Indeed. Drama surrounding star players (looking at you, Brock Boeser)? Of course. Somewhere in the middle of all that, the Canucks actually pulled themselves close to a playoff spot, only to promptly fall back out of it. But, of course, Vancouver’s been winning more of late. Where does that take it?

Previous ranking: 22
Points percentage: 50.00%
Next seven days: vs. SEA (Dec. 9), @ WPG (Dec. 11), @ CHI (Dec. 13), vs. DAL (Dec. 15)

Mediocre. The Capitals’ most relevant storyline is Alex Ovechkin chasing history. Otherwise, Washington has been a run-of-the-mill squad, neither great nor terrible but somewhere in the crowded middle.

Previous ranking: 20
Points percentage: 44.44%
Next seven days: vs. COL (Dec. 11), vs. NSH (Dec. 12), @ EDM (Dec. 15)

Mystifying. Everything about St. Louis’ season gives you whiplash. The demoralizing eight-game losing skid. The resurgent seven-game win streak. Feisty Jordan Binnington picking fights. Top players producing, then not. Who are the real Blues?

Previous ranking: 26
Points percentage: 42.31%
Next seven days: @ NSH (Dec. 10), vs. ANA (Dec. 12), vs. MTL (Dec. 14)

Frustrating. Ottawa was supposed to be better than this. GM Pierre Dorion worked all offseason with that goal in mind. The Senators have just failed to come together often enough on the ice. Ottawa’s recent performances suggest hope for a potential turnaround, but the real question is why these Senators tripped so hard out of the gate.

Previous ranking: 29
Points percentage: 42.59%
Next seven days: @ VGK (Dec. 9), @ ARI (Dec. 11), @ COL (Dec. 13), @ NJ (Dec. 15)

Painful. The Flyers did have that 5-2-0 stretch out of the gate. They have not won five games total since. Injuries have been an issue, and goaltender Carter Hart could only do so much for so long. Philadelphia knew this season might be rough, and so it has been.

Previous ranking: 25
Points percentage: 36.21%
Next seven days: @ ANA (Dec. 9), vs. ANA (Dec. 13)

Dismal. San Jose has hovered — somewhat inexplicably — near the bottom of the league despite some top-end talents in the lineup. The Sharks have been one of this season’s underachievers, and it’ll be curious to see how GM Mike Grier goes about adjusting course.

Previous ranking: 28
Points percentage: 36.00%
Next seven days: vs. CGY (Dec. 9), vs. LA (Dec. 11), @ FLA (Dec. 13), @ TB (Dec. 15)

Cursed. But seriously. The Blue Jackets landing Johnny Gaudreau should have been a terrific omen for this season, which instead has been defined by who’s not in the lineup. Zach Werenski, Patrik Laine, Elvis Merzlikins, Jake Bean, Jakub Voracek; the list goes on of players who have missed time (some of them now out long term). That’s no excuse, though. Laine and Merzlikins are back, and the Blue Jackets still can’t avoid being regularly blown out.

Previous ranking: 30
Points percentage: 36.00%
Next seven days: vs. WPG (Dec. 9), vs. WSH (Dec. 13), vs. VGK (Dec. 15)

Predictable. Chicago was meant to be in the thick of the Connor Bedard sweepstakes. For the most part, that’s where the Blackhawks have remained — with some enjoyably competitive contests tossed in. But mostly Chicago appears to be staying on task.

Previous ranking: 31
Points percentage: 37.50%
Next seven days: vs. BOS (Dec. 9), vs. PHI (Dec. 11), @ SJ (Dec. 13)

Punishing. Any team could buckle under the weight of a 14-game road trip. The Coyotes have gotten some great goaltending from Karel Vejmelka, and their top players have made steady contributions, but there’s no denying the Coyotes’ early-season slate has had a negative impact.

Previous ranking: 32
Points percentage: 31.48%
Next seven days: vs. SJ (Dec. 9), @ OTT (Dec. 12), @ TOR (Dec. 13), @ MTL (Dec. 15)

Disappointing. Anaheim’s pool of young talent — led by the electrifying Trevor Zegras and Troy Terry — should at least keep them competitive. Yet the Ducks have managed a single regulation win this season and produced an alarming number of lopsided losses (with a few surprising overtime wins tossed in). The rebuild is clearly still on.

Stars’ Hintz remains game-time call for Game 4

Stars' Hintz remains game-time call for Game 4

EDMONTON, Alberta — Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz remains a game-time decision ahead of Game 4 of the Western Conference Final on Tuesday.

The club’s top skater has been sidelined since Game 2 in the series when he took a slash to the left leg from Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse. Hintz took part in warmups before Game 3 on Sunday but exited early and was ruled out. He was back on the ice for Dallas’ optional practice on Monday and told reporters he was “feeling good” and “trying to do everything I can” to get back in for Game 4.

It was early in the third period of Game 2 when Hintz — parked in front of the Oilers’ net — shoved Nurse from behind, and the Oilers’ blueliner responded by swinging his stick at Hintz’s leg. Hintz was down on the ice for several minutes after that before being helped off by Lian Bichsel and Mikael Granlund.

Nurse received a two-minute penalty for the slash on Hintz but no supplementary discipline from the league. The blueliner addressed the incident for the first time Tuesday, explaining it didn’t come with malicious intent.

“I was backing up to net and I got shot in the back. And I think it was just a natural reaction [to respond],” Nurse said. “It’s probably a play that everyone in this room, whether you’re a net-front guy or D man, probably happens a dozen, two dozen times in a year. It’s unfortunate that I must have got [Hintz] in a bad spot. You don’t want to go out there and hurt anyone. But it was just one of those plays that happens so often.”

Having Hintz unavailable hurt the Stars in Game 3, a 6-1 drubbing by the Oilers that put Dallas in a 2-1 hole in the best-of-7 series. Hintz is the Stars’ second-leading scorer in the postseason, with 11 goals and 15 points through 15 games. He was hopeful when taking warmups Sunday that he’d feel good enough to get back in but a quick discussion with the training staff made it clear he wasn’t ready.

Coach Pete DeBoer has since classified Hintz’s status as day-to-day.

“Of course you want to go every night, but sometimes you just can’t,” said Hintz. “I don’t know how close I [was to playing]. But I have played many years [and I] know when it’s good and when it’s not. I should be good to know that [when] it comes to that decision.”

The Oilers will have some lineup changes of their own to sort through in Game 4. Connor Brown is out after he took a hit from Alexander Petrovic in Game 3; he’ll be replaced by the incoming Viktor Arvidsson. Calvin Pickard — injured in Edmonton’s second-round series against Vegas — will return to back up for Stuart Skinner. And Edmonton continues to wait on defenseman Mattias Ekholm, who is getting closer to coming back from a lower-body injury.

Puck drop for Game 4 is 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

‘That’s wonderful’: Canes finally see ECF skid end

'That's wonderful': Canes finally see ECF skid end

SUNRISE, Fla. — Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin is happy to never get another question about his team’s record-setting NHL playoff losing streak.

“Wonderful. That’s wonderful,” he said after Carolina’s 3-0 win over the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night. “The guys in here worked hard tonight and that’s all you can ask for.”

The Hurricanes avoided a sweep by the Panthers, sending the series back to Raleigh, North Carolina, for Game 5 on Wednesday night. In the process, Carolina snapped a 15-game losing streak in the conference finals — the longest losing streak by a team in a playoff round other than the Stanley Cup Final in NHL history.

The Hurricanes’ last win in the Eastern Conference finals was in Game 7 against the Buffalo Sabres in 2006, a game that saw current Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour score the winning goal.

“It’s been a story. So, yeah, it’s nice to not have to talk about that [anymore],” Brind’Amour said.

When the streak began in 2009, Carolina captain Jordan Staal was helping the Pittsburgh Penguins to a conference finals sweep of the Hurricanes. He said the win over Florida in Game 4 showed how much pride was in the Canes’ locker room, as they refused to allow the Panthers to end their season.

“There’s a lot of guys that didn’t want to go home,” Staal said. “We know we have a huge hill to climb here. We’ve got a great team on the other side that is going to come back with a better effort. It’s a great challenge.”

Florida coach Paul Maurice, whose team had a chance to advance to a third straight Stanley Cup Final with a victory, gave credit to the Hurricanes for a solid and disruptive game while acknowledging that his team could have gotten to its own game better.

“I haven’t been nearly as down on that hockey team as you fine people have been over the last three games, and I won’t be as down on my team tonight,” he said. “[The Hurricanes] were good. They had good sticks. They had good quickness. You see that happen more often when the possessor of the puck’s feet are not moving.”

Three factors changed the vibe for Carolina in Game 4.

Goalie Frederik Andersen had his second shutout of the postseason after being pulled in Game 2 and benched for Game 3. Andersen was 7-2 with a .937 save percentage and a 1.36 goals-against average in nine playoff games before facing Florida. In two games against the Panthers, he gave up nine goals on 36 shots (.750, 5.54). Andersen had given up just 12 goals in his previous nine postseason games.

In Game 4, he was a great last line of defense, stopping all 20 shots.

After the game, Andersen declined to discuss being benched.

“I don’t really want to talk about my feelings. It’s not about that. It’s about the team and trying to put the best lineup on the ice that they feel like gets the job done. So I’m ready for when I’m called upon and glad to be able to play,” he said.

Andersen played a key role in another factor: the Carolina penalty kill. The Panthers were 4-for-5 on the power play in the first two games of the conference finals. The Hurricanes killed off four power plays in each of the past two games.

“Our goalie was great when he needed to be. The penalty kill was phenomenal,” Brind’Amour said. “We gave ourselves a chance, and that’s all we can ask.”

Perhaps most crucially, the Hurricanes scored the first goal. Carolina is now 6-0 when scoring first and 3-5 when it trails first in these playoffs. In the regular season, the Hurricanes were 30-7-2 when scoring first and 17-23-3 when trailing first.

They scored first and then played the type of close, low-scoring game they excel at. As winger Taylor Hall said before Game 4: “We’re thinking about winning the game 1-0. If it’s close, then we’re in a good spot.”

“It’s been a story. So, yeah, it’s nice to not have to talk about that [anymore].”

Rod Brind’Amour on Carolina snapping 15-game losing streak in conference finals

Forward Logan Stankoven opened the scoring at 10:45 of the second period, giving Carolina its first lead of the series. Rookie defenseman Alexander Nikishin made a terrific backhand pass across the neutral zone to spring Stankoven ahead of the Panthers’ defense, and he beat goalie Sergei Bobrovsky for his fifth goal of the playoffs.

Stankoven said he called for the pass from Nikishin, who was playing in his third postseason game.

“The play happened so fast and it was a great feed by him to make that play off the turnover. It all starts with him,” said Stankoven, who was acquired from the Dallas Stars in the Mikko Rantanen deadline trade.

It remained 1-0 until Sebastian Aho and Staal added empty-net goals in the last 2:11 for the 3-0 win.

Slavin said Game 4 was in the Carolina’s comfort zone.

“A thousand percent. It was 1-0 up until the end there. You can’t get any tighter than that,” he said.

With that, the Hurricanes ended their historic losing streak and turned their attention to making more NHL history. Only four teams in the history of the Stanley Cup playoffs have rallied to win a best-of-seven series after trailing 3-0, although two have done it in the past 15 years (Philadelphia Flyers in 2010 and Los Angeles Kings in 2014).

“You watched the way we played tonight. Everyone put their heart on the line,” Slavin said. “We know we’ve got a good group in here. We know we’ve got all the pieces. We just have to bring it every night.”

Stars-Oilers Game 4 preview: Can Dallas punch back to even it up?

The good news for the Dallas Stars is that if the Western Conference finals get to a Game 7, they have the NHL’s master of Game 7s behind their bench.

The bad news is that they need to get to Game 7 for that to matter. And after going down 2-1 in the series to the Edmonton Oilers via a 6-1 loss in Game 3, another defeat could make that difficult.

Can they punch back in Game 4 to knot the matchup at 2-2 heading back home to Dallas for Game 5?

Here are notes on the matchup from ESPN Research, as well as betting intel from ESPN BET:

Matchup notes

Dallas Stars at Edmonton Oilers
Game 4 | 8 p.m. ET | ESPN/ESPN+

Following the Oilers’ win in Game 3, ESPN BET has adjusted the series winner odds to Oilers -375 (previously -140) and Stars +280 (previously +120). The Oilers’ Cup winner odds are now +140, while the Stars’ are +700. Connor McDavid is atop the Conn Smythe odds leaderboard at +175.

The Oilers are now 10-2 in their past 12 games, after losing the first two games of the first round vs. the Los Angeles Kings, and are 20-3 at home in the playoffs since 2017 when leading after two periods.

The Stars lost consecutive games for the first time in the 2025 playoffs, and have one goal total in their past three road games (Games 2 and 5 of the second round against the Winnipeg Jets and Game 3 against Edmonton).

McDavid powered the Oilers to a Game 3 win with his 44th multipoint and sixth multigoal game of his playoff career. McDavid has as many playoff games with multiple points (44) as he does with no points (20) or one point (24).

Teammate Evan Bouchard opened the scoring with his sixth goal this postseason, tying Leon Draisaitl for the team lead. Bouchard is the first defenseman with six goals in consecutive postseasons since Rob Blake in 2001 and 2002. Bouchard also recorded an assist, marking his 24th career multipoint playoff game, which extended his record for defensemen in a four-postseason span.

Stuart Skinner was remarkable in goal once again, stopping 33 of 34 shots to earn his fourth win this postseason. It was his first win of these playoffs that didn’t end in a shutout, as the Stars’ goal with 4:25 left in the second period ended Skinner’s shutout streak at 99 minutes, 33 seconds. With the win, Skinner tied Andy Moog for the third-most playoff wins by a goaltender in Oilers history (23); Bill Ranford is next on the list at 25, and Grant Fuhr is well ahead at No. 1 with 74.

Dallas’ Mikko Rantanen recorded an assist on the goal from Jason Robertson, but has gone without a goal in his past six games. In his previous six games before the drought, he scored nine goals, which remains tied for the NHL lead this postseason.

Jake Oettinger allowed six goals in the loss, tied for the most in a playoff game in his career; the previous occasion was Game 6 of the 2023 Western Conference finals against the Vegas Golden Knights.
