The beat goes on for the record-setting Blackhawks. Tuesday's win over the Wild was their 10th in a row. |

We've seen some chinks in the Bruins' armor lately, but they're still the best team in the East as far as I'm concerned. |

Who would have thought the Habs would find themselves in the Top 3 this far into the season? Carey Price's recent struggles are concerning, however. |

Defense and goaltending didn't figure to be an issue for St. Louis heading into the season, but that's certainly been the Blues' downfall lately. |

Tuesday's gutsy win in Vancouver was a good indicator that the Sharks are ready to turn things around. There's simply too much talent on hand for them to stay down for long. |

The Devils are really missing Martin Brodeur right now. Johan Hedberg is a fine backup, but he's not much of a starter, as we've seen during New Jersey's six-game skid. |

What's wrong with Pekka Rinne? He's been a shell of his former self so far this season. A lack of scoring hasn't helped matters for the Preds. |

Perhaps Mike Milbury's harsh comments aimed toward Alex Ovechkin lit a fire under the Caps. They've won back-to-back games since Milbury's rant last Wednesday. |

Power Ratings compute offensive and defensive statistics into one number for each team, while accounting for factors like recent performances and strength of schedule. Power Ratings can be used as a baseline for relative moneyline index to compare current or future match-ups between two teams. The relative moneyline does not account for non-statistical factors like home-ice advantage, recent injuries, game time decisions, rivalries, and publicity.
