SKA steals the top spot from Barys in the second installment of the weekly KHL Statistical Power Rankings.

SKA took the top spot this week as Barys Astana failed to capitalize playing some of the weaker clubs. Not to mention that the St. Petersburg picked up some big points in slaughtering Torpedo 7-0 on 16.10.

Ak Bars Kazan is a big mover because of their 5-0 defeat of Barys and 5-3 win over Medvescak (though maybe the side from Tatarstan should be handicapped because of this). Lev Praha also used Torpedo to get up six spots after a 7-2 thrashing earlier this week.

Neftekhimik fell six spots after losing six straight, including two straight matches where they did not get a goal. The rest of the rankings are below.

Rankings were calculated using all results through 17.10

Using the latest TheHockeyWriters power rankings, below there is a combined ranking system. Atlant gets a little bump here because their fall has not been changed in the THW Power Rankings which are put together biweekly. Besides that, everything is pretty close to the same. Next week could change significantly once the THW Power Rankings are updated.
