This week, the Lightning, Capitals and Senators are the beneficiaries, whereas the Jets discover themselves on the incorrect aspect of it.
As I’ve executed thus far this season, I rank groups not simply on their leads to the standings, but in addition with how they’ve seemed in a number of stats as effectively. Otherwise I’d simply copy and paste the standings, proper? No enjoyable in that. The rankings are an mixture of six completely different stats: factors %, 5-on-5 objective differential, 5-on-5 xGF/60, 5-on-5 xGA/60, power-play xGF/60 and short-handed xGA/60, all coming courtesy of Natural Stat Trick.

5v5 PDO: 103.2
Previous Week: 1st (0)
I’m sorry, there have to be one thing incorrect with my notes. It says the Bruins misplaced three video games in a row? That can’t be true, can it?
Well, it’s. After extending their six-game successful streak in opposition to the Canadiens, they misplaced three straight video games to the Lightning, Panthers and Hurricanes. Now, these are three stable groups, in order that’s not a humiliation or something, however it’s nonetheless stunning to see, even when it was inevitable.

PK xGA/60: 7.28 (Eighth)
5v5 PDO: 101.7
Previous Week: fifth (0)
While the Leafs and Devils are shut collectively, the Stars are actually in a tier of their very own, as even a three-game dropping streak doesn’t transfer them out of fifth place.
