2 – Toronto Maple Leafs

In nine of their last 10 games, the Toronto Maple Leafs have either won or skated away with a point. They are still four away from tying the Bruins, but at their current trajectory, Toronto is proving to the league they are still one of the best and they won’t be underestimated.

1 – Boston Bruins

For over a year, the Boston Bruins have been the undisputed No. 1 team on this list and even in league power rankings. But that could change if they continue to play near-0.500 hockey. However, the Bruins are still pacing the Atlantic and until that changes, Boston will remain at the top.

While the Buffalo Sabres have vastly improved over the past week, the rest of the Atlantic isn’t slowing down. Therefore, they remain near the bottom of the rankings until they can play consistent hockey week in and week out.
