Canucks keep coming

Biggest climb: Pittsburgh Penguins (15 to 9), New York Rangers (21 to 15)

Biggest fall: Montreal Canadiens (12 to 19)

A reminder: these rankings are based mainly on quality of play (with heavy emphasis on recent games), overall record and my remarkably intuitive gut calls. Heck, if I went strictly off record, these would be no different than the standings, and you already know where to find those. Also worth noting: statistics and records are through Sunday's games.
