Rank 'Em: NHL Power Rankings

Created: March 9, 2009, 8:47 AM

Where do Evgeni Malkin's Penguins rank?

As the calendar flips from February to March and we lose an hour of sleep, it's time to take stock of the NHL Power Rankings.

But do you trust the standings or your gut, SportsNation?

The standings say the Penguins are still anything but safe in the playoff race, but after a recent run of success under their new coach, do they look like a top-10 team to you? What about the Canucks? Stuck in the middle of the Western Conference pack overall, they've taken off since adding Mats Sundin.

How do your Power Rankings look, SportsNation?
