Consensus NHL Power Rankings

The Blackhawks were ranked first overall by six of eight media outlets, with the Penguins receiving the other two first place rankings.

Since we were able to get eight rankings this week, we were once again able to drop the highest and lowest point total for each team, taking the middle seven scores to come up with our consensus.

To get our consensus point total, we awarded the top team 30 points, the second team 29 points, third team 28 points, etc. Added each teams total points and divided by the number of outlets used.

** Keep in mind the dates the rankings were posted, and in some cases, they may have been submitted to their editors the day before it was posted **
