One more week remains in the NHL's regular season, but as far as the 2015-16 NHL Power Rankings go, this is it. Because, of course, after Sunday's games, the standings will become final.
There will be no more room for maneuver with our panel of experts. The records will go back to 0-0 for 16 teams, and playoff time will officially be upon us.
These final rankings, therefore, will be a little different. For the teams that won't or almost certainly won't make it, short obituaries of sorts will be offered. What went wrong? Why will there be no more hockey after Sunday until the preseason schedule gets underway in September?
For the rest, there is a look ahead at how they can keep playing beyond April and other items of note. As it was all season, our panel is composed of Carol Schram, Jonathan Willis, Allan Mitchell, Lyle Richardson and yours truly.
It was an honor, and as ever, we welcome your comments—pro and con—as to these selections in the forum below.
