What are the NHL power rankings?
The G&W power rating puts every NHL team on one scale: how many goals better or worse than an average team it is on a neutral field. A +3.0 team is three goals better than average. The ranking orders teams by that number, not by record.
How to use them
- Compare two teams' ratings to get a quick sense of the gap between them before you look at the line.
- Watch the Move column: teams that climb or fall several spots changed more than one result would suggest.
- Open a team to see its schedule, form and its record against the market.
