Another week, another new No. 1 team atop the ESPN NHL Power Rankings!
Plus, with the league's holiday roster freeze in effect, and the IIHF World Junior Championship set to begin Tuesday, we analyzed each team's roster to sort out the nationality mix of each club.
How we rank: A panel of ESPN hockey commentators, analysts, reporters and editors each send in a 1-32 poll based on the games through Wednesday, which generates our master list here.
Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to the previous edition, published Dec. 15.
