While the Edmonton Oilers approach history with a record-breaking win streak, it's another Western Canadian team that takes over the top spot of the NHL Power Rankings this week.

Plus, while we identified each team's best new addition in last week's Power Rankings, this week it's the opposite side of the coin: What are the moves (or non-moves) on which each team might like a do-over?


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 here.

Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to the previous edition, published Jan. 19. Points percentages are through Thursday's games.

1. Vancouver Canucks


Previous ranking: 2
