NHL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, plus the stat of the season for every team

With just over a week left in the 2021-22 NHL regular season, it's time to assess what all 32 teams have done thus far -- for better or worse.

For this week's Power Rankings, we identified a stat for every team that best exemplified their performance, from recent trends to season-long strengths or weaknesses.

How we rank: A panel of ESPN hockey commentators, analysts, reporters and editors rates teams against one another -- taking into account game results, injuries and upcoming schedule -- and those results are tabulated to produce the list featured here.

Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to the last edition, published April 13. Points paces are through Tuesday's games.
