Home games, away games – it doesn’t seem to matter to the Winnipeg Jetswhich remain at the top of our Power rankings.

Winnipeg swept St. Louis, Seattle and Calgary last week, winning all three games and improving to 8-0-0.

There doesn’t appear to be any identifiable weakness for the Jets early in the season. Winnipeg ranks second in goals for and against. It’s almost as strong from a process standpoint when it comes to the chances the team creates and allows. No player on the team has more than 10 points, however, 10 have at least six. Depth and consistency have been key for Winnipeg early on.

The Jets’ third line, if you want to call it that, centered by Adam Lowryplayed more minutes together than any other Winnipeg line. He outscored the opposition 7-1 at five-on-five while posting an expected goals percentage above 70 percent.

What a start.

The same could not be said of Vancouver Canuckswho stumbled by losing their first three matches. Since then, everything has been rosy as the Canucks have reeled off four straight wins, moving from 20th to seventh on our list.

Offensively, the Canucks are scoring at about the level they should be, relative to the chances they’ve generated. Defensively, they can thank Kevin Lankinena training camp signing, for helping the team achieve the record it currently holds. Lankinen is 4-0-1 with a .930 save percentage – third best in the league. The Canucks rank 22nd in expected goals, but sixth in actual goals, thanks to the well-above-average goaltending they’ve received this season.

Trending in the opposite direction, the Calgary Flames slipped from third to 13th on our list. Calgary won its first four games of the season, but has since gone 1-2-1.

The Flames’ penalty kill couldn’t hold off the Jets late in their 5-3 loss Saturday night as special teams continued to be a sore spot for Calgary. The Flames rank 18th in power play and 28th in penalty kill.

A tough week awaits as the Flames hit the road to face Vegas and Utah before two home games against the Devils and Oilers.

A little north of Alberta, the Oilers are in better shape than a week ago, moving up 10 places from 26th to 16th. Edmonton finished the week with a 2-1-0 record, thanks to an overtime goal from Leon Draisaitl Sunday evening.

The Oilers rank 30th in goals per game, but fourth in expected goals. Edmonton ranks in the top five in the league in offensive zone possession, slot shots, slot passes, rush chances and cycle chances. Like last season, it won’t be long before pucks start filling the back of the net and the Oilers are fighting for first place in their division.

Down six places from 15th to 21st, the Ottawa Senators. Unlike the Oilers, the Senators score way more than they should, relative to the chances they create. Ottawa ranks 30th in expected goals and seventh in actual goals scored.

Despite the addition of Linus Ullmarkgoaltending is once again an issue in the nation’s capital. The Senators rank 28th in save percentage (.875) and 29th in goals saved above expectation (-3.6).

After a 1-2-1 week, the Toronto Maple Leafs moving from 11th to 22nd on our list. Toronto has only managed to score six goals in three games against the Blue Jackets, Blues and Bruins.

The Leafs’ power play has contributed to the lack of offense, at just 10 percent this season, putting them 29th in the NHL. Toronto isn’t shooting as much as in previous years, averaging 3.1 shot attempts per two minutes with the man advantage (21st), which is part of the reason the team ranks 20th in expected goals every two minutes.

The Leafs face a tough test Monday night as they take on the undefeated Jets.

Up to three places from 29th to 26th are the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs have just won two consecutive victories against the Blues and the Flyers. Defensively, the Canadiens still have a lot of work to do, even if the team has shown improvement in its last few games.

Injuries continue to plague the Habs who are missing several regular players up front and in defense.
