Heading into the first few weeks of the 2014-2015 regular season, the Capitals snag the No. 10 spot in Pierre LeBrun's official power rankings for ESPN.com with a 24-11-8 record:

"If it weren't for the Rangers, more people might be noticing that the Capitals are on fire as well. Barry Trotz is selling and the Caps players are buying. This is as structured a Caps team as I've seen in a long time."

Meanwhile, the Predators currently hold the impressive No. 1 spot (out of 30 total teams) with an awesome 29-9-4 record. According to LeBrun:

"So much to like about the Predators, and they lead my favorite statistic: 5-on-5 goals for/against ratio, at 1.53."
