"It was a busy week in the hockey world, with a handful of trades -- including Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights -- and our first Olympic roster injury replacement, with Jackson LaCombe replacing the injured Seth Jones. It's also time for another set of ESPN NHL Power Rankings, led once again by the Colorado Avalanche. In addition to this week's updated rankings, we've also identified each team's best celebrity fan -- i.e. their leading candidate for the "Heart Trophy.""
"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. Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to the previous edition, published Jan. 16. Points percentages are through Thursday's games. . This can really be a Broncos-led team award here. Moss and Alex Palczewski recently attended an Avs game, supporting their fellow Denver-based team."
