The Blackhawks are streaking on the ice and up the power rankings.
The Chicago Blackhawks have been playing good hockey lately--their shutout loss in Carolina excepted--and they're moving up in the latest aggregated power rankings from Real Clear Sports. Real Clear Sports averages the rankings from eight hockey outlets to come up with its aggregate rankings.
This week the Blackhawks check in at No. 5, which is the highest they've been in the rankings in nearly a month. The best individual ranking for the Blackhawks was No. 3 by Sports Illustrated; The Hockey News, on the other hand, had Chicago all the way down at No. 10.
Elsewhere in the Central Division, the Detroit Red Wings slipped from second to 12th after a particularly rough week. Nashville sits in 18th and the Columbus Blue Jackets bring up the rear at No. 30.
