Article:NHL Power Rankings and Playoff Index: February 11

The table below shows ChanceBot.com&#39;s Power Rankings and Playoff Index for the NHL. Power Rankings provide a calculation of relative team strength based on their performance to date. The strongest team is given a strength of 0.0 and all remaining team strengths are relative to this standard. The difference between two teams&#39; scores indicates the expected average goal differential in a series of neutral-ice games played between the two sides. The Playoff Index for each team gives the probability (expressed as a percentage) that the team will make the playoffs. These probabilities are calculated by simulating the remainder of the season while taking into account team strength, home-ice advantage, and historical trends.
