The Predators, who have won nine games in a row, knocked the Tampa Bay Lightning from the top spot this week by receiving 11 of 14 No. 1 votes from the staff members who participated.

The red-hot Nashville Predators are the new No. 1 team in NHL.com's weekly Super 16 power rankings.

The Lightning dropped to No. 2 and for the first time this season aren't the only Florida team in the Super 16. The Florida Panthers entered the rankings at No. 16.

The Anaheim Ducks made the biggest jump, to No. 10 from No. 14 last week. The Vegas Golden Knights fell three spots to No. 6.
