Power Rankings (Week of 12/26/11)

ESPN.com bumps the Rangers up five spots to #3 in their most recent power rankings…

3. Rangers – A big pre-Winter Classic win over Philadelphia on Friday put the Rangers in first place in the Atlantic. Still, give credit to John Tortorella, who has to get some Jack Adams love given how banged-up his defensive corps is. The Blueshirts don’t give up much in spite of their injury woes and rank third in goals allowed per game. Marian Gaborik takes over as NHL goal-scoring leader with 21.

CBS Sports also has the Rangers at #3.
