Believe it or not, some NHL teams have a single-digit number of games remaining on the 2021 schedule, though many playoff positions and seedings still have to sort themselves out.
For this week's NHL Power Rankings, we identified the toughest stretch of games remaining for every team.
How we rank: The ESPN hockey editorial staff submits selections ranking teams 1 to 31 -- taking into account game results, injuries and upcoming schedule -- and those results are tabulated in the list featured here.
Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to our Week 13 edition, published on April 14.
