Geeking out over this week's release of The Last Jedi? You're not alone. For this week's Power Rankings -- voted on, as always, by ESPN's panel of experts -- we channeled our love for a galaxy far, far away as well as our passion about the 2017-18 NHL season and identified a Star Wars character who best embodies each team. You can't stop change any more than you can stop the suns from setting -- although the Tampa Bay Lightning begin another week ruling the hockey universe.
How we rank: We use a panel of voters, and these rankings reflect which teams voters think would win head-to-head matchups.
