Following Week 7, Dallas maintains the impressive top spot in Pierre LeBrun's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Calgary still lags way behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Stars (1): "The Stars went 10-3-0 in November and capped the month in sensational style by erasing a 3-0 third-period deficit while beating the Wild 4-3 in OT Saturday night. Is there a team that's more fun to watch than these high-flying Stars?"

Record: 19-5-0 (1st in Central Division).

Flames (29): "A three-game road trip netted one single point as the Flames continue to shoot themselves in the foot."
