Pro Hockey Power Ratings
Last updated: Monday, October 14, 2019 - thru games of October 13
Welcome to my NHL power ratings! I will be updating this page on Mondays and
Fridays. To determine the approximate point spread for a game, simply take
the difference between the power ratings of the two teams in question and add
0.3 goal for the home team. These ratings are based on a mathematical formula
involving several factors, including won-lost record, schedule strength, and
margin of victory in games. My rankings do not take empty net goals into
account. More recent games are taken with slightly more consideration than
games played earlier in the season. Pre-season rankings are factoring in early
in the season. Enjoy!
