"The Bruins' 1-5-2 skid at the end of December has knocked them out of the Herald's Power Rankings, but don't fret, B's fans. That's nothing a little five-game win streak won't rectify, not in this season of parity in the National Hockey League. That's how crazy this season is. Despite their slump, the B's are just two points out of a wild card spot as they head into Saturday's matinee against the road warrior Rangers (15-8-2 away from Madison Square Garden)."
"The down hill the Avs have been on since the start of the season will straighten out again when the playoffs start and it will be interesting to see if they handle it better than the 2023 Bruins did. But what they've done so far is stunning. We're past the halfway mark and they still have not lost in regulation at home. They lead the league in goals for and are the stingiest in goals against."
A late 1-5-2 skid dropped the Bruins out of the Herald's Power Rankings, though a five-game win streak could reverse that quickly. The Bruins sit two points behind a wild-card spot while facing a strong road Rangers team. Several teams including the Devils, Ducks, Senators, Kings and defending-champion Panthers are currently outside the rankings bubble. The Colorado Avalanche dominate the standings with an unbeaten home record in regulation, leading the league in goals for and allowing the fewest goals. The Minnesota Wild and Dallas Stars show top-contender potential despite recent turbulence for the Stars.
