NHL Power Rankings: Capitals reclaim top spot as Blackhawks sputter - SI.com

HOW THEY STACK UP AFTER WEEK 16

3. Los Angeles Kings
last week: 3
record: 30-15-3
The Vincent Lecavalier deal is paying quick dividends for the Kings. The veteran center has three goals in five games, including a last-second equalizer against the Sharks on Sunday that sparked a 3–2 Los Angeles win in OT. That was their 30th W of the season, the fastest they’ve reached that mark (48 games) in franchise history. Last week: 2-2-0
5. San Jose Sharks
last week: 5
record: 25-18-4
The Sharks are 7-0-2 in their last nine games, and finally seem to have found some traction at home, where they’re 4-0-2 in their past six games after starting the season 5-12-0 there. Joe Pavelski might be the best player no one talks about. The veteran center picked up his league-leading eighth game-winner on Saturday against Minnesota. Last week: 2-0-1
13. Anaheim Ducks
last week: 16
record: 21-18-7
The Ducks have won four of their last five games to move back into playoff contention, and their offense seems to be clicking. Anaheim still ranks 30 in goals per game (2.02), but the Ducks have scored at least four goals in five of their past nine. Last week: 2-0-0
