| 2 | Anaheim Ducks | This team continues to win, tied for the league lead in points. |
| 3 | Chicago Blackhawks | Nice wins over Minnesota this week, however,this team can’t lose to the Edmonton Oilers, even if it was a on the second half of a back-to-back. They dropped a spot due to the loss. |

| 5 | Tampa Bay Lightning | Riding a 3 game win streak as of 1/12. |
| 6 | St. Louis Blues | Demolished Arizona and San Jose, and squeaked out a win against Carolina this last week, they definitely deserved a bump up in the rankings. |
