Not even one week into the season and were already blown away by Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid and Patrik Laine. Way too early to identify real trends, but it wont stop us from ranking every single team from top to bottom. So get ready.1. (last week: 1)?Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-0-0The Penguins are perfect to start the season without Sidney Crosby in the lineup. What a start for Marc-Andre Fleury, who has stopped 73 of 77 shots in winning two in a row while Matt Murray recovers from a broken thumb.2. (12) St. Louis Blues, 3-0-0The Blues have looked good. They got a little nicked up in their win Saturday against the New York Rangers, so thats worth watching, but so far so good for a St. Louis team that has had significant turnover the past two seasons.3. (2)?San Jose Sharks, 2-0-0The Sharks have started out as they finished last season, on a high note, with two wins in which they allowed just three goals. Their victory over the Blue Jackets on Saturday starts a five-game road trip for a team that a year ago was the leagues best away from home.4. (4)?Tampa Bay Lightning, 2-0-0The Lightning have fallen behind in each of their first two games, but their depth has saved them in both cases. They are setting the tone early for a team many like to win the Atlantic.5. (9) Florida Panthers, 2-0-0Speaking of winning the Atlantic,?Roberto Luongo starts the season with back-to-back wins and the defending division champs are undefeated without Jonathan Huberdeau and Nick Bjugstad, who are both out long term.6. (26) Ottawa Senators, 2-0-0Hey, lets give the Senators some due as they open with two wins. The good news is the offense has been there with nine goals. Allowing seven over the same time period isnt a recipe for long-term success, though.7. (3) Washington Capitals, 1-0-1The Capitals bounced back after their shootout loss to the Penguins on banner night in Pittsburgh with a win over the New York Islanders in their home opener.?Daniel Winnik?had both goals as Caps depth reveals itself early.8. (30) Vancouver Canucks, 2-0-0The Canucks sneaked in an opening-night win over the Flames, in spite of an own-goal by Loui Eriksson, then roared back after being down three against the Hurricanes. Nice start for a team most picked to be a bottom-feeder.9. (29) Toronto Maple Leafs, 1-0-1Speaking of giving credit where its due. The Leafs gave away an extra point in OT loss to start season in Ottawa, but bounced back to win handily against Boston on Saturday. And, oh yeah,?Auston Matthews?is pretty good.10. (8) Montreal Canadiens, 1-0-1Still no?Carey Price as the Canadiens, in front of Al Montoya, start the season 1-0-1, including a shootout loss to Ottawa on Saturday.11. (19) Philadelphia Flyers, 1-0-1The Flyers have looked good in two road games, taking three of four points after losing in OT to Arizona on Saturday to follow up an opening-night win in Los Angeles. They are getting production from up and down the lineup, including three points from rookie?Travis Konecny.12. (23) Edmonton Oilers, 2-1-0Impressive start for?Connor McDavid, with six points in twin wins over the Flames to start, but a disappointing lopsided loss Sunday at home to the Sabres highlights ongoing goaltending and defensive issues for the Oil.13. (7) Nashville Predators, 1-1-0The?P.K. Subban era in Nashville is off to a rollicking start, although they dropped the second of back-to-back efforts against the Chicago Blackhawks with Pekka Rinne?taking the night off Saturday. Subban has done a little bit of everything, including producing a goal and an assist.14. (6) Dallas Stars, 1-1-0The Stars are very Stars-like to start, scoring nine times in two games but giving up eight -- which in large part explains their record.15. (17) Arizona Coyotes, 1-0-0Youthful Yotes looked good in an entertaining win over the Flyers in their home opener. But it was veteran?Mike Smith?in goal who helped secure the victory.16. (27) Colorado Avalanche, 1-0-0Good on the Avalanche, who did not lose in the preseason, for staying on task while edging the Stars 6-5 to give rookie head coach Jared Bednar his first NHL head-coaching win.17. (15) New York Rangers, 1-1-0The?Mika Zibanejad?deal is already paying dividends, as the former Ottawa Senator has four points in two games.18. (5) Chicago Blackhawks, 1-2-0The Blackhawks avoided going 0-3 to start the season with a win Saturday over the Predators as?Richard Panik collected his first NHL hat trick against backup Marek Mazanec.19. (13) Minnesota Wild, 1-1-0The Wild get their first win for new coach Bruce Boudreau, over the Winnipeg Jets, after a disappointing loss against the Blues to open the season.20. (22) Winnipeg Jets, 1-1-0The Jets could not build on a come-from-behind win over the Hurricanes in their opener as they fall to the Wild. Nice start for rookie-of-the-year candidate and No. 2 draft pick?Patrik Laine, who has a pair of important points in two games.21. (24) Buffalo Sabres, 1-1-0The Sabres, buckled by injuries to top-six forwards?Jack Eichel and Evander Kane, show nice backbone by whipping the Oilers on Sunday.22. (14) Carolina Hurricanes, 0-0-2Good news is the Canes have points in two road games to start the season. Bad news is they blew leads in both, including a 3-0 lead in Sundays 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks. Not good for a team thats hoping to be in the playoff race.23. (18) Boston Bruins, 1-1-0Disappointing follow-up to a nice come-from-behind win over the Blue Jackets to start the season as the Bruins were handled easily by the Maple Leafs on Saturday. No Patrice Bergeron is troubling, and Tuukka Rask?couldnt go either against the young Leafs, although Bergeron should be close to returning.24. (21) New York Islanders, 1-2-0Modified lineup comes up with its first win of the season in overtime Sunday against the Ducks. Still lots of questions dogging the Isles early in the going.25. (20) New Jersey Devils, 0-1-1The Devils have scored just three goals in two games. Even with?Taylor Hall?in the lineup, their scoring problems persist with the offensively challenged Devils.26. (10) Anaheim Ducks, 0-2-1The Ducks begin the coach Randy Carlyle era (Part II) with three straight losses, although they get the losers point for coming back and forcing overtime against the Islanders on Sunday. Took the Ducks a long time a year ago to get rolling, so history might be repeating itself.27. (11) Calgary Flames, 0-2-1Lots of folks loved the Flames to challenge in the Pacific. So far, defense and goaltending look uncomfortably like last season.?28. (16) Los Angeles Kings, 0-2-0This could be the start of a very long season for the Kings, especially if injured goalie?Jonathan Quick?ends up requiring surgery. Regardless, things off to a rocky start for a team many liked to return to Cup contender status.29. (25)?Detroit Red Wings, 0-2-0The Wings looked good early against the Lightning in their opener, but fell apart and have allowed twice as many goals (10) as theyve managed to score (5) in twin losses to start the season.30. (28) Columbus Blue Jackets, 0-2-0The Blue Jackets blew early lead against the Bruins in their first outing and have not looked good in dropping their first two. If there was a team desperate to not stumble out of the gate -- again -- its Columbus. Chris Doleman Vikings Jersey . Denis Coderre, the former federal MP who was elected mayor on Nov. 3, has drawn the ire of some Montreal Canadiens. During last nights game he tweeted: "Hello? Can we get a one-way ticket to (minor-league) Hamilton for David Desharnais please. Irv Smith Jr. Womens Jersey . JOHNS, N. http://www.authenticvikingspro.com/Brian-oneill-vikings-jersey/ . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. Dalvin Cook Vikings Jersey . Hamelin, who triumphed in the 500 on Saturday, edged out Victor An of Russia by 0.021 seconds to maintain his lead in the World Cup standings. Russias Vladimir Grigorev was third. In the relay, Canada took control six laps from the finish line to beat Russia and the Netherlands. Adrian Peterson Jersey .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Rookie Patrik Laine got the last laugh in his anticipated showdown with Auston Matthews, then cracked a joke or two after.Laine completed a hat trick 2:40 into overtime, helping the Winnipeg Jets overcome a four-goal deficit to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 on Wednesday night.Laine got the better of his first head-to-head matchup against fellow rookie Matthews, tying the game with 55 seconds left in the third before winning it in overtime. The confident Finn went second overall in the 2016 draft behind Matthews, despite Laines public insistence he should have gone first.I think it was just a normal regular season game, Laine said with a chuckle.Laine got his third goal with a wrist shot on a 2-on-1 rush. He swooped behind the net with his arms raised after scoring, and his teammates hopped on the ice to celebrate while hats poured down from the stands.Laine has four goals on the season, tying Matthews and three others for the NHL lead.Fans chanted Laine better during the game, music to the rookies young ears.Yeah, I heard something and that sounds pretty good, Laine said. Thats their opinion and Im not going to say anything about that.Matthews heard the chants, too.Its a great atmosphere, Matthews said. Obviously, Winnipeg is a great hockey city so thats what you get when you play these types of teams. You got to block it out and just have fun with it.Laine scored in overtime right after Matthews was stopped by goaltender Michael Hutchinson at the other end.Two great young players that are going to give their fans reasons to have nights like this over the course of the year, over the course of their careers, starting now, Jets coach Paul Maurice said. Weve just seen brilliance from both of them in the first four games of the season. Lucky for Winnipeg fans and lucky for Toronto fans we get to watch two great young players.Winnipeg was down 4-0 early in the second before getting goals froom Tyler Myers, Laine and Mark Scheifele, who made it 4-3 at 6:05 of the third.ddddddddddddaine tied it on the power play with Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly in the box for cross-checking Scheifele, who also had a pair of assists.That was a big play for them and Ill take blame for that one, Rielly said.In their season opener against Carolina, the Jets were down 4-1 early in the third and came back to win 5-4 in overtime.Nazem Kadri scored twice for Toronto and Connor Carrick and William Nylander also had goals. Nylander added an assist.Hutchinson made 36 saves for Winnipeg and Frederik Andersen stopped 29 shots for Toronto.Carrick opened the scoring at 6:46 of the first off a rebound, and Kadri made it 2-0 with a low shot from the slot at 16:12.Toronto then used a pair of power-play goals to make it 4-0 early in the second.Nylander scored with 2 seconds left on a five-on-three power play 6:47 into the second. Kadri followed with his second goal of the game 8 seconds later.Winnipeg got its own power play in the middle period, but Andersen made three great saves within a few seconds.A minute after the Leafs penalty expired, Myers and Scheifele got on a 2-on-1, with Scheifele passing the puck to Myers across the ice in front Carrick for Myers goal at 13:04 and the 4-1 score.Laine scored a minute into the third when he took a pass from Byfuglien at the point, turned and fired a wrist shot by Andersen.Five minutes later, Scheifele blasted a shot past Andersen on the stick side for his third goal of the season.Game notes Laine also has one assist for five points in four games this season. Matthews got his first NHL assist Wednesday and has five points in three games.UP NEXT:Jets: Play in Sundays outdoor Heritage Classic against Edmonton.Maple Leafs: Travel to Minnesota for a game Thursday.
