Best in the West: Weekly Western Conference Power Rankings

It’s been a busy week around the league, especially at the Western conference. General leaders may not be aware that the trade deadline is not Until March 7th Because they have made a flurry of movements. Vancouver Canucks swapped JT Miller to another Pettersson, the Dallas stars got even better, and the Winnipeg Jets just continued to roll down the highway.

Here are my weekly power tranges for the Western Conference.

16. San Jose Sharks

Right now, things are bleak in San Jose. The sharks have a record of 15-34-6. With only one win in their last nine games, the sharks do not have much for them other than Rookie -Fenom Macklin Celebrini and his search for Calder. The sharks have a good young core and one of the brightest futures in the league, but they do not dominate the power ranking this year.

15. Chicago Blackhawks

With a record of 16-31-5, Chicago Blackhawks are not much better than the sharks. Blackhawks have only two wins in their last 11 games; However, they came against two playoff teams, Vegas Golden Knights and Tampa Bay Lightning. Connor Bedard leads the team with 45 points in 52 games, but it’s a steep drop-off for the next leading goal scorer.

14. Seattle Kraken

The Seattle Kraken keeps their games interesting, but they are a long shot to make the mail season. Since acquiring Kaapo Kakko from New York Rangers, Kraken is 8-12-2, but their latest addition has 17 points in 22 games and helps keep the matches interesting. Goalkeeper Joey Daccord has played exceptionally well and has a record of 18-13-3 and a .916 average savings percentage.

13. Nashville Predators

Two weeks ago, the Nashville predators were on a five-match winning row and flirted with the opportunity to turn their season around. Since then, the predators have lost five in a row, including back-to-back loss to bottom feed in Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins. They are a bit of a conundrum – they have an average power play and their criminal murder is tied to 7. In the league of 82.2% – but after the season they had, the predators are this season’s biggest disappointment.

12. St. Louis Blues

St. Louis Blues has not had an easy schedule, but they are only 1-4-1 in their last six games. With a 14-19-4 record and an average savings rate of .899, Jordan Binnington is far from what he was in 2019. Their special team is well below average; Power Play is 23. In the league of 18.9%, and penalties are 29. At 71.6%.

11. Utah Hockey Club

Utah Hockey Club-Man, can they already agree on a name?-End, won yesterday to beat their five-game losing row, but a 3-2 win over Philadelphia Flyers in overtime doesn’t feel like much to boast about. They have an average power play (21.8%, 15. In the league) and their criminal murder is bound for 5. at 82.3%. Their young stars produce but they are just To not get enough depth scoring to win games consistently.

10. Anaheim Ducks

As expected, Anaheim Ducks is 5-1 in their last six matches. The ducks are a fascinating team. Troy Terry is their leading goal scorer with 39 points in 48 games, but in the net John Gibson and Lukáš Dostál give them chances of winning every night. Their special team is even cruel – Power Play is 31. In the league of 12.2%, and penalties are 27. At 74.3%. The ducks have a -29 target difference, Which is 27. In the league. And yet they are only seven points out of an endgame.

9. Calgary Flames

Has anyone had “Calgary Flames will be on an playoffs in February” on their bingo card? I certainly didn’t. But with a record of 26-20-7, this is exactly where they are. The flames stumble slightly and are 2-4 in their last six matches but these four losses came In the hands of Hot team in Winnipeg Jets, Washington Capitals, Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs. Their two new additions – Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee – have played three games in a flames sweater and each scored a goal. Dustin Wolf has a phenomenal rookie season between the pipes and it is confusing to me that he does not get more humming for the Calder trophy. Fans howl when he saves. It doesn’t improve their place in the position, but it makes me smile.

8th. Vancouver Canucks

Despite all the drama around Vancouver Canucks, they are 4-1-1 in their last six games. In a small sample size, Marcus Pettersson and Filip Chytil play well with their new team. Quinn Hughes puts together a campaign worthy of another Norris trophy. He did not play last night – very As for whether this is a prolonged injury-but canucks still closes Colorado Avalanche. They have average special teams and both Kevin Lankin and Thatcher Demko have done well net. The JT Miller era in Vancouver Canucks is over; The tide rises, the tide falls.

7. Minnesota Wild

Minnesota Wild is A roller coaster. They are very hot and cold and have been closed out In their last two matches. They will be without Ryan Hartman for another nine matches-he appealed his 10-game-pension, but I would be surprised if the Department of Player Safety reduced his verdict. Kirill Kaprizov is out in the long term and their offensive production has come down. Matt Boldy has been meaningless in his last four matches. Joel Eriksson-Ek has an assist in his last Four games and Mats Zuccarello have one in its last five. The Wild StranSpect killing is far from wild as it is ranked 30. In the league with a success rate of 70.8%; Their power play of 18.8% is 24. In the league. Their rescuing grace is Goaltender Filip Gustavsson, which has a record of 20-11-3 and a .913 average savings percentage.

6. Vegas Golden Knights

Vegas Golden Knights reviews their annual Rough Patch in January. Unfortunately for them it seems apparently in the month February. They have won only three of their last 14 matches; Eight of these 11 losses came in regulation. The golden knights are struggling to end, their criminal murder whistles, and they do not get savings. They don’t get any depth scoring. The Golden Knights still have a 31-17-6 record, but they have to fix the ship quickly before sliding longer.

5. Los Angeles Kings

Los Angeles Kings broke a four-match’s losing row with a big win over Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, but they still have their problems. Captain Anže Kopitar has not yet scored a goal in 2025, which is probably why Kings has scored only 26 goals in their last 14 games. And let’s talk about a case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: The Kings has the 28th ranked power play in the league of 15.4%; their criminal murder is bound for 5. at 82.3%. But the starting target Darcy Kuemper is in rare form and has a record of 15-6-6 and a .921 average savings percentage. Kings playing their next five matches at Crypto.com Arena- They are 15-3-1 at home — so I can imagine that fans will hear a lot of Hollywood nights In the near future.

4th Colorado Avalanche

Despite being closed last night by a vulnerable Vancouver Canucks team, Colorado Avalanche has clicked with their new acquisitions. Martin Nečas has five points in his first six games as of; Jack Drury has two goals. Colorado’s Power Play has been fighting this year, but their criminal murder is tied to 12. In the league of 80.4%. Through 20 games in a cobblestone sweater, Mackenzie Blackwood is 12-6-2 with a .926 average savings percentage. And let’s not forget Nathan Mackinnon, who leads the league in points with 80 in 55 games, or Cale Makar, who leads all defenders in scored goals.

3rd Dallas Stars

This Dallas Stars Team is excellent ahead; The damage to the Miro Heiskan relates to, but Thomas Harley has intensified admirable in his absence. Their losses last night to Anaheim Ducks cracked a five-game-winning row. Last Saturday the stars got straight deeper When they added Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci from San Jose Sharks. They get scores everywhere in the lineup, and now their stars are starting to shine – word games calculated, sorry. Wyatt Johnston has 15 points in his last 11 games; Jason Robertson has 27 in his last 19. The stars have number two penalties in the league of 84.7% and a large goalkeeper between the pipes in Jake Oettinger.

2. Edmonton Oilers

With their victory over St. Louis Blues last night, Edmonton Oilers is officially away from Schneid-If you can call a two-game losing a schneid. Stuart shines does not win any vezina trophies, but he has been good if it is a bit inconsistent. Edmonton’s Power Play is not what it has been in previous years, but it is still 24.2% and is 7. In the league. Oh, yes… And they have two guys named Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. McDavid is fourth in the league in the scoring with 70 points in 47 games, and Draisaitl leads the league in goal with 37.

1. Winnipeg Jets

Was there any doubt? At 38-14-3, the Winnipeg Jets have the best record in the league. They are the only team with two players past the 30-goal mark in Mark Scheifele (31) and Kyle Connor (30). Connor Hellebuyck is currently winning another consecutive Vezina Trophy. Jets are on a seven-game victory, where they have outsscored their opponents 31-13. They have the best power play in the league of 33.8%. Guess who sucks but the jets are far from miserable.
