Not as much movement as usual for week 10's NHL Power Rankings but, we do have a new number one ending San Jose's reign.

The biggest loser in our NHL Power Rankings this week were the Montreal Canadiens and Anaheim Ducks both falling four spots to end up at #26 & #28. The Canadiens put their 100th season celebrations into high gear this past week as December 4, 1909 was the first ever game for the franchise, just too bad it wasn't inspiring enough to help the Habs win more than one game during the week. Meanwhile the Ducks are the surprise in the West so far but for all the wrong reasons as they are now sitting last in the conference.

The biggest gainer in our NHL Power Rankings this week were the Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings and Minnesota Wild all moving up three spots to land at #11, #12 and #24 respectively.  The Bruins have been playing a lot better since the return of Marc Savard while the Red Wings have finally been getting some solid consistent goaltending, however it's come in the form of Jimmy Howard and not Chris Osgood. The Wild on the other hand are apparently starting their up hill climb after a tough start.

Lets take a look at the rest of the league: NHL POWER RANKINGS for week 10.
