In this week's edition of the NHL Power Rankings, we identify the biggest causes for concern -- whether it's a player, group, unit or something else entirely.


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 preseason edition, published Oct. 9. Points percentages are through Thursday's games.
