Since we had nine entries in this weeks NHL power rankings, we’ve dropped the highest and lowest totals for each team.
To get our consensus NHL Power Rankings Week 16 point total, we awarded the top team 30 points, the second team 29 points, third team 28 points, etc.
** Keep in mind the dates the rankings were posted, and in some cases, they may have been submitted to their editors the day before it was posted **
