My colleague Scott Burnside has handed over the Power Rankings duties to me for the month of November. After consulting with my dog, Lulu LeBrun (shes a 4-year-old Australian shepherd and she knows her hockey), Ive come up with this weeks rankings.1. (Last week: 7)?Washington Capitals, 8-2-1I was chatting with a GM from another team last week when, unsolicited, he brought up the Caps. They are just so good again. Deep, talent everywhere. Going to be tough to beat, he said. Well, yeah, I mean, we always say that. But is this finally the year? Perhaps.2. (8) New York Rangers, 10-3-0Its funny -- back in August, when Jimmy Vesey picked the Blueshirts in his personal sweepstakes, I thought, Why them? Theyre in transition mode, youre not going to win there anytime soon. Well, given the way the Rangers have exploded out of the gate, I need to rethink that. Theyre so much fun to watch, and they lead the NHL with 4.23 goals per game.3. (4)?Pittsburgh Penguins, 8-2-2Welcome back, Sid! Rust? Ha. How about eight goals and two assists in six games since returning from a concussion.?Sidney Crosby?is just seven points off the NHL scoring lead despite having played half the number of games most players have. Yeah, I think he has it in him to reel in another scoring title this season.4. (13)?Chicago Blackhawks, 9-3-1Since starting the season 0-2-0, the Hawks have gone 9-1-1, including six consecutive wins. Hold off, perhaps, on those window-closing narratives.?Jonathan Toews and company have other plans. Hats off to GM Stan Bowman for continually working his roster magic under massive cap constraints.5. (12)?Tampa Bay Lightning, 7-4-1My preseason pick to win the Stanley Cup has a big test on Monday night at Florida against the rival Panthers. We need to see these two Florida teams face off in a playoff series next spring, please!6. (1) Montreal Canadiens, 10-1-1OK, I know this is a little harsh, given their league-leading record. But I had to make the 10-0 pasting that Montreal suffered against the?Columbus Blue Jackets?on Friday night count for something! The Habs had a nice bounce-back win the following night at home over a rested?Philadelphia Flyers?team. You know Carey Price and Shea Weber were going to make sure that happened.7. (6) St. Louis Blues, 7-4-2Four assists in two weekend victories by pending unrestricted free-agent blue-liner Kevin Shattenkirk. A juicy matchup awaits Wednesday night at home against the rival Blackhawks.8. (2) Edmonton Oilers, 9-3-1The Oilers snapped a three-game slide (0-2-1) on their recent road trip with weekend wins against the Islanders and Red Wings. How much fun will Tuesdays game at Pittsburgh be, as Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby face off?9. (15) Columbus Blue Jackets, 5-3-2It was a night for the ages on Friday, with that monumental barrage of goals over the league-leading Canadiens. As I tweeted that night, it was as if Columbus took out 16 years of misery as a franchise on the Habs that night. Heres hoping the Blue Jackets make the playoffs this season. Their fans deserve it!10. (5) San Jose Sharks, 6-6-0The Sharks suffered three consecutive losses, including a 5-0 drubbing at home Saturday night in another Stanley Cup final rematch with Pittsburgh. They now embark on a six-game road trek to Washington, Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina, St. Louis and Arizona.11. (3)?Minnesota Wild, 6-4-1Im not exactly sure why Burnside had these guys third in the Rankings last week. The Wild suffered losses to Buffalo and Colorado over the past week. And while I think the Wild have the goods to be a playoff team, they are going to have more weeks like that.12. (10) Ottawa Senators, 7-4-0Things that make you go hmmm: Despite having the NHLs most offensively gifted defenseman in Erik Karlsson (love having him on my fantasy team this season), the Sens are just 23rd on the power play. They were 26th last season.13. (24) Anaheim Ducks, 6-5-2The Ducks have won three of four, and you get the sense that they will start to resemble the team we know they can be soon. Anaheim starts a three-game road trip on Wednesday at Columbus, followed by stops in Carolina and Nashville.14. (9) New Jersey Devils, 5-3-3The Devils bounced back after losses to both Florida teams with a 4-1 decision over Carolina despite being outshot 34-21.15. (17) Los Angeles Kings, 6-6-0Maybe the Kings dont need goaltending help after all. Veteran Peter Budaj has answered the bell of late, including backstopping the Kings to wins over Pittsburgh and Calgary in their last two games. The Kings open a five-game road trip in Toronto on Tuesday night.16. (16)?Florida Panthers, 5-6-1After opening the season 2-0-1, the Cats have dropped six of nine games. The massive overhaul on the blue-line -- in combination with key injuries -- has had an impact.17. (22) Boston Bruins, 6-5-0The Bruins have the 29th-ranked power play. A year ago, they started the opening month with the hottest power play in the league.18. (18) Buffalo Sabres, 5-4-2Dont look now, but the Sabres have won four of their past five games and deserved to beat the Leafs in their lone defeat. Robin Lehner has been terrific in goal.19. (29) Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-4-3The Leafs underlying stats suggested their slow start wasnt really reflective of their overall play -- and now theyre getting wins to back that up. The NHLs youngest team is riding consecutive victories, with visiting Los Angeles next up on the docket Tuesday night.20. (23) Philadelphia Flyers, 6-6-1The Flyers must have hated watching the Habs get pasted 10-0 in Columbus. The Flyers just knew the Canadiens would rebound. Sure enough, Montreal prevailed over Philly 5-4 in a fun game the next night.21. (11)?Detroit Red Wings, 6-6-1A six-game win streak was followed by a five-game (0-4-1) winless streak. The Wings will be on that playoff bubble all season.22. (21) Dallas Stars, 4-5-3Injuries have certainly influenced the early season for the Stars, who will no doubt bounce back. But the home-and-home, weekend sweep at the hands of Chicago hurt.23. (28) Nashville Predators, 3-5-3Still waiting for the team I picked to win the Central Division before the season to wake up. Shootout losses to Arizona and Carolina didnt impress anyone.24. (19) Winnipeg Jets, 5-7-1Jacob Trouba?kept losing money while the Jets just kept losing games. Saner minds prevailed on Monday when Trouba signed a two-year, $6 million deal to return to Winnipegs fold. The Jets need him, and he needs to play.25. (14) Colorado Avalanche, 5-6-0Its time to ride Calvin Pickard (1.50 goals-against average, .946 save percentage) for a while over Semyon Varlamov (3.67 GAA, .881 SP). Varlamov has two more years, at $5.9 million per on his deal after this season. I would shop him if I were Colorado. Pickard looks legit.26. (25)?New York Islanders, 4-6-2The Isles have dropped five of their past six games. Somethings got to give on Monday night when they host the struggling Canucks.27. (20) Calgary Flames, 5-8-1Man, I was convinced the Flames would bounce back and make the playoffs this season. Its early, but boy have they been inconsistent, especially defensively. Calgary is sitting 28th with 3.57 goals against per game.28. (27) Carolina Hurricanes, 3-5-3The Hurricanes have but one power-play goal in their last six games, and have gone 1 for 16 during that stretch.29. (30)?Arizona Coyotes, 4-7-0The Coyotes have been outshot in six consecutive games, although before Sundays loss at Anaheim they had pulled off wins over San Jose and Nashville.30. (26) Vancouver Canucks, 4-6-2The Canucks have gone eight games without a win (0-6-2) since starting the season 4-0. At least they scored three goals on Saturday night in Toronto after being shut out four of the five previous games.

What went down in the fifth week of college soccer?The aim each week is to bring you five stories that defined the week in college soccer or help navigate the long road to the Womens College Cup -- wherever that road may lead. Relocated to Cary, North Carolina, earlier this year because of stadium issues in Orlando, the College Cup is on the move again after the NCAA moved all 2016-17 championship events out of North Carolina. A new site has yet to be announced.Arkansas breaks through against FloridaSo what do we know about Arkansas after its second win this season against an opponent ranked in the top five? Well, it is probably safe to assert that the Razorbacks will hear a few more people politely decline invitations to Fayetteville. Not that some visitors have any choice. Thats the case for No. 4 Florida, which lost 2-1 at Arkansas in SEC play Friday. That came two weeks after Arkansas beat Duke by the same score.Conditions were a factor in a game delayed by inclement weather and played on a field that was visibly saturated. Against a Florida team that prefers to connect passes and play on the ground, a soggy surface was more of a home-field advantage for Arkansas than that provided by however many fans stuck around out of a crowd listed at 1,155. But there was nothing weather-aided about the ball Arkansas Jessi Hartzler drove into the top corner from 20 yards out in the 23rd minute for the first goal. And when Hartzler headed home a second goal minutes later on a corner kick, it wasnt the field that earned that corner but aggressiveness on the part of the Razorbacks. They held on under a barrage of second-half shots, but they earned the win.With a 2-1 win Sunday against Lipscomb, Arkansas is 9-1-0, the best start in program history.Upsets accumulating for GeorgetownA man with a sense of humor, Georgetown coach Dave Nolan might want to consider telling his team that its next opponent is East Virginia, with North and South to follow soon thereafter.A week after beating Virginia when the Cavaliers were unbeaten and ranked third in the nation, the Hoyas traveled to West Virginia on Sunday and came away with a 1-0 double-overtime win against an opponent that was ranked second in the nation. When Georgetown beat Rutgers in September, the Scarlet Knights still well regarded after a trip to the College Cup a season ago, it was arguably the programs best regular-season nonconference win in at least a decade. In the space of three weeks, it fell to no better than third on that list.Before Grace Damaska stunned the Mountaineers with a long-distance winner in the 102nd minute, the Hoyas also won Friday at George Washington. That was not an easy assignment in its own right, and it was all the more difficult sandwiched between the Virginia and West Virginia games.NC State escapes the mother of all shadowsArkansas went the first 20 games of its all-time series against Florida without a win. Thats a mere dry spell compared to the drought NC State has endured against its neighbor. A soccer afterthoughtt in a soccer-rich area, NC State entered Fridays game at North Carolina with a 1-44-2 record in the all-time series (19 more losses than against any other school).ddddddddddddThe lone win was in 2002. The Wolfpack had never won on the road at Fetzer Field.Not until a 1-0 win Friday.In a game with just 16 total shots, although enough of them on frame from the home team that NC State goalkeeper Sydney Wootten had to make eight saves, the Wolfpack got one opportunity and took it. Kia Rankins 67th-minute goal from a tight angle held up as the winner. All of that despite playing without leading scorer Jackie Stengel, injured in the teams previous game.ACC opening week doesnt disappointThe game in Chapel Hill was only part of the opening act in what remains the most compelling conference in the sport, even if results so far suggest this isnt the ACCs greatest vintage.Clemson, Duke and Virginia each used league openers to reassert their respective credentials. A loser in its two biggest road games of the first month, at West Virginia and South Carolina, Clemson traveled to Wake Forest and came away with a 2-1 win against the previously unbeaten Demon Deacons. Duke rebounded from a frustrating offensive performance in a loss to West Virginia a week earlier with a 3-2 win against Boston College -- rallying from two goals down against an opponent reduced to 10 players by a red card. And Virginia, fresh off that loss at Georgetown a week ago, got two set-piece goals from defender Kristen McNabb to wear down Virginia Tech 2-0, a game in which the Cavaliers piled up 23 shots and 12 corner kicks.But if those teams needed to win to make a statement, Syracuse did it with a draw. Just 8-23-2 in its first three seasons in the ACC, i.e. the deep end of the pool, Syracuse played Notre Dame to a 1-1 stalemate. Break down the record more, and the Orange are 3-1-1 in their five most recent ACC games.Northwesterns perfect month continuesIt was easy to imagine what Northwestern saw in Michael Moynihan when it tempted him away from Wisconsin-Milwaukee, no small feat given the nearly two decades he spent at a Horizon League school where the soccer field is named after his mother. It grows easier to imagine what he saw in a program that for years barely rippled the Big Ten waves.Northwestern shut out Purdue and Indiana to open Big Ten play this past week, neither result particularly notable on its own. But that gives the Wildcats six clean sheets in as many games this month. Not since DePaul scored in the fourth minute on Aug. 25 has Northwestern allowed a goal. Only Lehigh, which hasnt allowed a goal in a 6-0-1 start, has a stingier defensive record.It makes you wonder if the Wildcats, now 9-0-0, might be able to build the same kind of deep postseason run around their defense that Rutgers did out of the Big Ten a season ago.And wouldnt you know, Northwestern visits New Jersey this week.
