Welcome back to T.O.A. 2017-18 NHL Power Rankings! We've got a late night addition for Week 4 as some games have come to close already tonight. The games that took place tonight will be included on Week 5 as our tabulations concluded after the last game last night.
We have a new leader! Vegas takes their first ever week topping performance in TOA's history. Congrats on their so far stellar play and our hearts out to the tragedy that they are still recuperating from. This is our third rankings this year and our third different leader. Things are shaking up to be interesting statistically this year.
This week we can see some more stability as teams are now moving at a relatively even pace between their gains and falls. We have big movers in the west in Vancouver due to recent play. Florida as well jumps up due to an 8 goal performance on Thursday night. Even falls for Washington and Detroit show similar play much like last week's even fall between the two teams.
That wraps up this week, Remember that our blog has an up-to-date Twitter profile that you can follow @TOA_Sports.
