Brodeur holds fort for Devils

Biggest Climb: St. Louis Blues (20 to 12)

Biggest Fall: Minnesota Wild (17 to 25)

A reminder: these rankings are based mainly on quality of play (with a 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.
