Chicago is the best team in the NHL. That's neither breaking news nor a controversial opinion, and once again, the Blackhawks are the top team in the Super 16 power rankings.There wasn't much movement near the top,Russell Wilson Black Jersey, but the Carolina Hurricanes, Minnesota Wild and Phoenix Coyotes are making appearances in the top 16 while the San Jose Sharks, ranked as high as No. 2, are out of the mix completely after losing seven straight games.Here's the complete list, which features three Atlantic Division teams in the top seven.

The Canucks head to Chicago on Tuesday, and it will be interesting to see if Roberto Luongo gets the start in United Center. 5 3 New Jersey Devils: Patrik Elias
