NHL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, holiday gift for every team

The holiday season is well underway. Proper planning with gifts is always the play: Don't wait until the last second because the last thing you want is to be caught empty-handed when it's too late.

How we rank: A panel of ESPN hockey commentators, analysts, reporters and editors sends in a 1-32 poll based on the games through Wednesday, which generates our master list.
