for the Week Ending 12/5
12/6/2021 - By LGS Staff
The staff writers at LetsGoSharks.com submit their league rankings each week, and we average submissions for each team. Here are the LGS NHL Power Rankings for this week:

Rank Rank Last Week Team Record Last 10 The Skinny
1 1 17-4-3 7-2-1 Gotta give the Panthers credit, their games are fun to watch. Living by comebacks is playing with fire though; eventually you get burned.
2 3 15-4-6 6-2-2 The Caps split the week but jump to #2
3 6 17-6-1 7-2-1 Four wins this week, including victories over Tampa Bay and Toronto. The Wild jump hard.
4 5 17-7-2 7-2-1 The Leafs jump up a spot, leap frogging the Oilers
5 9 16-4-3 9-1-0 The Rangers sweep the eep and jump four spots.
6 2 16-6-1 5-4-1 Three losses in four games.
7 4 16-7-0 6-4-0 Can't outscore their defense's mistakes every game
8 8 15-5-4 7-2-1 The Lightning win 3-of-4 but you gotta beat the big boys to rise at the top.
9 7 15-5-5 7-2-1 Three games, three wins, albeit against soft teams.
10 10 12-8-4 4-4-2 Now hit by COVID, luckily their back-up goalie may be better than #1
11 14 13-8-4 5-4-1 Every win makes it more plausible that Anaheim really is a good team.
12 11 12-8-4 4-5-1 Short week, but losing to the Coyotes drops the Jets a spot.
13 12 12-7-2 7-2-1 Should have resigned Grubauer- too late
14 13 14-10-0 6-4-0 The Knights beat the Coyotes but lose to the Ducks.
15 21 13-9-3 6-3-1 Three wins this week. 6-3-1 over their last 10.
16 17 12-8-1 6-3-1 Win one, lose one, win one, lose one.
17 23 12-7-2 8-2-0 Two more wins this week has the Stars slowly climbing the ladder.
18 16 13-10-1 5-5-0 The Predators still need to show some consistency before moving up.
19 19 11-8-5 6-3-1 Pens lose 2-of-3 and still not showing much consistency in their game.
20 20 13-11-1 5-5-0 3-2 road trip is OK but not special
21 15 13-10-0 5-5-0 Should have resigned Grubauer- too late
22 18 9-9-4 2-6-2 The Devils lose three of four games this week and pay the price in the rankings.
23 22 10-9-4 3-4-3 A pair of losses dips the Kings one slot this week.
24 24 8-10-4 1-7-2 Flyers lose twice, go 1-7-2 over their last 10 and Alain Vigneault is out of a job.
25 25 8-13-3 2-7-1 Three games this past week, three losses.
26 31 9-13-2 5-4-1 Will this team move up from awful to just bad
27 28 9-13-2 6-4-0 Something is starting to take shape in Chicago, but was the hole too deep to dig out of?
28 26 5-10-5 0-7-3 It's amazing what lack of confidence can do to a team. Islanders are starting to run out of runway to get their season off the ground.
29 27 6-17-3 2-7-1 Suddenly, what happens in Montreal this season doesn't matter. The focus is the future and whether it's a full rebuild or not.
30 29 8-15-2 3-7-0 Dead men walking in Vancouver. When does the hammer fall in Coach and GM? Getting your coach and GM fired earns you last place- along with the losing streak
31 30 6-15-1 3-7-0 Ottawa wins two of three but still fall a spot.
32 32 5-17-2 4-5-1 Still stuck in the desert with no water.
