Hello, Dallas Stars…you were sleeping out of the gate but you are now rocketing up the NHL Power Rankings.  Washington holds on to the top spot.  Teams on the move are Carolina +4, Arizona +6, Pittsburgh +7, and Ottawa +4.  Teams heading the wrong direction are Nashville -5, Vegas -7, Montreal -8, and Anaheim -5.  This week is American Thanksgiving.  It is a bench mark for teams that will make the playoffs.  Next weeks power rankings will be interesting.
