It was yet another exciting week for the NHL Drew Doughty Jersey , and as the holiday trade freeze nears, things are bound to get even crazier over the next few days.The Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames are making the Battle of Alberta fun again, as both clubs continue to surge to the top of the league standings. Did anybody dethrone the Tampa Bay Lightning from the top spot? A handful of teams are giving them a run for the best record in the NHL.Read on to see where your team stands.31. Los Angeles Kings (11-20-2)Nothing can be said about the Kings right now that hasn't already been mentioned. They're easily the worst team in hockey, and it's only a matter of time until GM Rob Blake finally decides to tear this whole thing down.advertising30. Chicago Blackhawks (10-18-6)This is easily the worst season for the Blackhawks since 2006-07, before Patrick Kane was even in the NHL. It's sad to see this organization fall from grace so quickly. Worse yet, the long-term rebuilding pain is just beginning.29. St. Louis Blues (12-14-4) Credit: Jean-Yves Ahern-USA TODAY SportsThe only question now is who and when the Blues will sell. They're easily among the most disappointing teams in the 2018-19 season.28. New Jersey Devils (11-13-6)A big comeback win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday, where they erased a three-goal deficit to win in overtime. Can New Jersey use that as the starting point for a possible hot streak?advertising27. Arizona Coyotes (14-15-2)Not a whole lot to like about this team. Nobody on Arizona is scoring, and they look poised for another bottom-five finish. When will the NHL just relocate this mess to a city that actually cares about hockey?26. Florida Panthers (11-13-6)The Panthers have now lost four games in a row, and you have to wonder if a big move is in store for GM Dale Tallon. Bob Boughner appears to be safe for now. Could Tallon move out one of his young scorers for help on defense?25. Philadelphia Flyers (12-14-4)Alrighty, Chuck Fletcher. You were just hired as the GM. When's your next move, young sir? Flyers fans are waiting for something big. A new goalie would help!advertising24. Carolina Hurricanes (13-13-5)The Hurricanes are really missing a 20-30 goal man in their lineup. Too bad they traded away Jeff Skinner, who is having a career year with the Buffalo Sabres. Looks like the 'Canes will be sellers once again.23. Ottawa Senators (14-15-4)They aren't as horrible as everybody thinks, but GM Pierre Dorion seems to be ignoring the team's need for another goalie and help on defence. At least youngsters Brady Tkachuk, Chris Tierney and Thomas Chabot are showing glimpses of a bright future.22. Vancouver Canucks (14-16-4)With Brock Boeser healthy and producing, the Canucks busted out of their slump and are 3-0-1 over their last four games. Is it too early to hand Elias Pettersson that Calder Trophy?advertising21. New York Rangers (14-13-4)The Rangers aren't scoring much, but head coach David Quinn has them in the playoff race. The Blueshirts have lost seven of their last 10, however. If this slump continues http://www.officialkings.com/authentic-adidas-dustin-brown-jersey , it could quickly derail their season.20. Detroit Red Wings (14-15-4)The once surging Red Wings have been sliding a bit, going a mere 4-5-1 over their last 10 games now. On the bright side, Dylan Larkin continues to look more and more like a superstar with every passing game.19. New York Islanders (14-12-4)Mathew Barzal is experiencing the sophomore slump with just 25 points on the season, but the Islanders are getting good production from Anders Lee and Josh Bailey. It's enough to keep them in the playoff race.advertising18. Pittsburgh Penguins (14-11-6) Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsThat was a much-needed victory over the Boston Bruins on Friday night. GM Jim Rutherford got an extension, meaning the Pens are confident he can keep this title window open a bit longer. Might Rutherford have some more big moves up his sleeve?17. Dallas Stars (16-13-3)Credit to rookie head coach Jim Montgomery for turning Dallas into a more balanced team; not the club that just relies on its top line to do all the scoring. Nothing flashy here, but the Stars might make a run for a wild card spot.16. Columbus Blue Jackets (17-12-2)It's quite amazing how the Jackets are among the top teams in the East despite a very rocky year from goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. If he doesn't turn it around, the decision to let him walk in free agency this upcoming offseason will be that much easier.advertising15. Minnesota Wild (Minnesota Wild (17-12-2)Just your average Minnesota Wild team. They don't stand out from other top teams in the West, but they're good enough to compete for a playoff spot. We'll see if they can go on a run and catch up to the Central's top teams.14. Montreal Canadiens (16-11-5)The Habs are the ultimate definition of a hot-and-cold team, but they're doing just enough hold onto the second wild card spot. If Carey Price ever regains his Vezina-like form, the Canadiens will be even more dangerous.13. Vegas Golden Knights (18-14-2)After a sluggish October and rocky November, the Golden Knights are surging with seven wins over their last 10 games. Jon Marchessault and William Karlsson each have 26 points.advertising12. San Jose Sharks (17-11-5)The Sharks are starting to live up to their full potential, having won their last three games. Erik Karlsson is coming around with 21 points in 33 games.11. Edmonton Oilers (18-12-3) Credit: James Carey Lauder-USA TODAY SportsSo as it turns out, all the Oilers needed was a coaching change. Ken Hitchcock is 9-2-2 with his new team, implementing an excellent defensive system, all while letting Connor McDavid run the show on offense. What a turnaround it's been.10. Boston Bruins (17-11-4)All things considered, the Bruins have been playing very good hockey despite a bundle of injuries to key players. But can they catch up to the top three teams in the Atlantic Division?advertising9. Colorado Avalanche (17-9-6)They've lost three in a row, but the Avalanche are sitting nicely in contention for the Central Division. Last season wasn't a fluke Jake Muzzin Jersey , after all. Who'da thought thatNate MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen would be vying for the scoring title in December?8. Anaheim Ducks (17-11-5)They're probably overachieving a bit, but the Ducks cannot be ignored. They've won eight of their last 10, and GM Bob Murray was rewarded with a multi-year extension. Now, the Ducks have to hold off the surging Oilers and catch up with the red hot Flames.7. Washington Capitals (19-9-3)Four straight victories for the defending champions, who have successfully fought through the Stanley Cup hangover. It's only December, and yet they just might run away with a fourth straight Metropolitan title.advertising6. Buffalo Sabres (19-9-4)Following a five-game losing streak, the Sabres found their groove and have reeled in consecutive victories. Tough road games loom this weekend - against the Capitals and Bruins.5. Calgary Flames (20-10-2)The Flames had an unreal comeback against the Flyers on Wednesday night, scoring twice with a minute left to go to overtime, where they were victorious. This was always a talented team with Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau and Mark Giordano. It just took the right man to put it all together. Hat tip to Bill Peters.4. Toronto Maple Leafs (21-10-1)The Maple Leafs keep beating up on the bad teams, but their awful play against top teams like Tampa and Boston are cause for concern. GM Kyle Dubas better add some muscle and legitimate top-four defencemen at the deadline. If he does so, this team might have the firepower to keep pace with the Lightning.advertising3. Nashville Predators (21-10-1)The Predators have suffered a handful of injuries to key players early in the season, but they just keep on winning. The Jets are surging in聽the Central Division, though.2. Winnipeg Jets (21-9-2)Thanks to a four-game winning streak, the Jets finally got ahead of the Predators for tops in the Central Division. Does anybody really expect Winnipeg to slow down? If not Tampa, this is your best team in the NHL.1. Tampa Bay Lightning (27-5-1) Credit: Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsThey were heavily outplayed by the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday, but the Lightning still won 4-1. They're easily the best team in the NHL Jeff Carter Jersey , and nobody in the Eastern Conference looks capable of challenging them right now. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Andrei Svechnikov long dreamed of scoring his first NHL goal. It could not have come at a better time for the Carolina Hurricanes.Warren Foegele had two goals and an assist, Svechnikov got his first career goal to snap a tie midway through the third period, and the Hurricanes rallied to beat the New York Rangers 8-5 on Sunday.Svechnikov, the No. 2 overall pick in June’s draft, deflected Justin Faulk’s shot in front of the net with 9:16 remaining to break a 5-5 tie and give the Hurricanes their first lead. Foegele followed with his second goal 47 seconds later and Teuvo Teravainen added an empty-netter to secure Carolina’s first home win under new coach Rod Brind’Amour.“I waited for this my whole life,” said the 18-year-old Svechnikov, who became the first NHL player born in the 2000s to score a goal. “This was my dream, and my dream came true.”Svechnikov’s go-ahead score was one of four unanswered goals by the Hurricanes in the third period as they erased a 5-4 deficit. Lucas Wallmark scored the tying goal for the Hurricanes with 14:59 left.Jordan Martinook, Jordan Staal and Micheal Ferland also scored and Justin Williams had three assists for Carolina.The Rangers had leads of 2-0, 3-2, 4-3 and 5-4 and failed to hold each of them.“Even when we got down two, thankfully it was early, you could just feel it on the bench: There was no panic, there was no ‘Oh man we’re not coming back.’ It was ‘Ok, let’s just get to our game and we’ll see what happens,'” said Brind’Amour http://www.officialkings.com/authentic-adidas-jonathan-quick-jersey , who picked up his first win Friday on the road at Columbus. “I think that’s a real positive, especially with the young guys. Maybe they don’t know any better. I just liked that they kept digging in.”Jimmy Vesey and Chris Kreider each scored twice and Pavel Buchnevich added a goal for New York, which remains winless in three games under new coach David Quinn.“Defensively we looked like we had never gone over these coverages or anything we had been working on,” Quinn said. “We had a hard time handling success tonight. When we got up, we didn’t pay attention to detail in the same situation.”Petr Mrazek made 19 saves for the Hurricanes and Alexandar Georgiev had 32 for the Rangers in a wild offensive game.The teams combined for four goals in each of the first two periods and were tied 4-4 heading to the third.Vesey and Kreider scored on the Rangers’ first two shots of the game, only to have the Hurricanes battle back.Foegele and Martinook scored to pull the Hurricanes into a 2-2 tie by the end of the first. Vesey again opened the scoring with a quick goal in the second, and again Carolina responded. Just as the Hurricanes killed off a 4-on-3 power play, a long pass from Jaccob Slavin and chip ahead from Foegele set Staal loose on a breakaway, and the Carolina veteran forward finished it off a vicious wrister over Georgiev’s blocker.Buchnevich gave the Rangers the lead once again in the second when he stuffed home a rebound on a power play, but a critical mistake by Georgiev allowed the Hurricanes to tie it back up in the final seconds of the period. As the clock moved under a minute, the Rangers’ goalie left his crease to try and clear a puck out of the corner. His clearing attempt went right to Ferland at the point, and Ferland flipped a wrister over Georgiev’s shoulder as he raced back to his net, making it a 4-4 game with 31 seconds left in the second period.“A lot of it was sloppy puck management,” Quinn said. “Making bad decisions, vacating the net front.We’ve got to learn to handle a little bit of success.”It was more of the same in the third.Kreider gave the Rangers the lead again, only to have Wallmark tie it 35 seconds later.This time though, the Hurricanes charged ahead Nate Thompson Jersey , taking their first lead on Svechnikov’s tally and piling on from there.“Every time we were down coach just told us just keep going, play hard, and we did our job,” Svechnikov said. “It was good.”When the final buzzer sounded, the entire Hurricanes team lined up along the blue line, began clapping over their heads in synch with the crowd, and then raced down the ice and jumped into the boards behind the net in celebration, bringing the crowd to a frenzy.“We want to have fun when you win,” Brind’Amour said. “The game should be fun. That’s what we’re doing. I want the players to enjoy winning and the fans to enjoy being here and our owner has been pushing that all the way, making it a fun experience for all involved, why wouldn’t you try something a little different? I’m happy the guys did something.”NOTES: The game marked the first time in Whalers/Hurricanes franchise history the team overcame four separate deficits to win. … Vesey has more goals (six) and points (eight) against the Hurricanes than any other team in his career. … Hurricanes F Martin Necas recorded his first career point with an assist on Foegele’s first-period goal. … The Rangers swept the season series against the Hurricanes last season 4-0-0. … Hurricanes F Staal and Rangers D Marc Staal are brothers and alternate captains for their respective teams. … The Hurricanes scratched D Haydn Fleury and F Valentin Zykov. … The Rangers scratched F Vinni Lettieri, F Cody McLeod and D Fredrik Claesson.UP NEXTRangers: Host San Jose on Thursday night.Hurricanes: Host Vancouver on Tuesday night.
