FANTASY TEAM POWER RANKINGS FOR STANLEY CUP POOLS

Fantasy owners should use these rankings as a basis for player/team evaluation. Factors taken into account include positional depth, power-play, lineup and injury trends, team history in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and likelihood of a deep postseason run.

1. Vegas Golden Knights

Players in top 115: 8

NOTE : The Golden Knights are one of two teams (other: Colorado Avalanche) with two goalies (Marc-Andre Fleury, Robin Lehner) inside the top 115 overall. They are also tied with the Washington Capitals for the most players in the top 115.

2. Boston Bruins

Players in top 115: 6

NOTE : The top line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak each is inside NHL.com's top 10 overall and lead the list of first line rankings for the 2020 Stanley Cup.

3. St. Louis Blues

Players in top 115: 7

4. Colorado Avalanche

Players in top 115: 7

NOTE : The Avalanche are the second team with two goalies (Philipp Grubauer, Pavel Francouz) among the top 115, giving them additional team security. They are also expected to get injured forwards Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Nazem Kadri, Andre Burakovsky and goalie Philipp Grubauer back for the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.

5. Tampa Bay Lightning

Players in top 115: 5

NOTE : Each Lightning player (Nikita Kucherov, Andrei Vasilevskiy, Victor Hedman, Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point) in the top 115 is ranked among the 30 best.

6. Washington Capitals

Players in top 115: 8

7. Dallas Stars

Players in top 115: 6

8. Pittsburgh Penguins

Players in top 115: 7

NOTE : The Penguins have two skaters among the 10 best (Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin) and forward Jake Guentzel arguably has the same ceiling if he's healthy (shoulder) for the qualifiers.

9. Toronto Maple Leafs

Players in top 115: 7

NOTE : Despite recent postseason history, the Maple Leafs have top-10 upside if elite forwards Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner and John Tavares produce at a point-per-game or better.

10. Edmonton Oilers

Players in top 115: 4

NOTE : With the fewest skaters in the top 115 among the 10 best teams, the Oilers offset their lack of depth by having the No. 1 (Leon Draisaitl) and No. 2 ranked skaters (Connor McDavid) on the list.

11. Philadelphia Flyers

Players in top 115: 6

NOTE : Philadelphia's overall points percentage (.645) may warrant a higher ranking but their 16-15-3 road record is a cause of concern for fantasy owners with postseason games being on neutral sites.

12. New York Rangers

Players in top 115: 5

NOTE : The Rangers are among the most intriguing teams on the list from a fantasy perspective with forwards Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad each ranked among the 20 best.

13. Winnipeg Jets

Players in top 115: 7

14. Vancouver Canucks

Players in top 115: 6

15. Carolina Hurricanes

Players in top 115: 4

NOTE : The Hurricanes have much higher upside than their No. 15 rank suggests if defenseman Dougie Hamilton (fractured fibula) is fully healthy for the qualifiers. The other concern for the Hurricanes could be their goalie tandem of Petr Mrazek and James Remier, neither of whom is ranked in NHL.com's top 115.

16. Nashville Predators

Players in top 115: 4

NOTE : The Predators are arguably the team with the most to gain on this list if No. 1 defenseman Roman Josi can continue to produce at a similar rate to his regular-season points per game (0.96) and if either goalie Pekka Rinne or Juuse Saros fully captures the starting job. The Predators also have multiple forward bounce-back candidates (Ryan Johansen, Matt Duchene, Mikael Granlund).

17. Calgary Flames

Players in top 115: 4

18. Florida Panthers

Players in top 115: 3

NOTE : Fantasy owners are hoping for a bounce-back performance from goalie Sergei Bobrovsky (.900 save percentage in regular season) in the qualifiers.

19. Chicago Blackhawks

Players in top 115: 2

20. Columbus Blue Jackets

Players in top 115: 3

NOTE : The Blue Jackets are one of the sneakiest teams in the qualifiers with defensemen Zach Werenski and Seth Jones ranked No. 65 and No. 66 overall and among the top 15 at their position, respectively.

21. Arizona Coyotes

Players in top 115: 2

22. Montreal Canadiens

Players in top 115: 2

23. Minnesota Wild

Players in top 115: 1

NOTE : The Wild's only skater in the top 115 is wing Kevin Fiala, who broke out with 26 points (14 goals, 12 assists) in the final 18 games of the regular season. If he continues to produce like an elite forward, the Wild could upset the higher-ranked Vancouver Canucks in the qualifiers.

24. New York Islanders

Players in top 115: 1
