NHL Power Poll: Week 2

!st of all I apologize for being a  day late on the power poll. I was in Wisconsin this past weekend and I drove back to the cities yesterday afternoon so I had no access to a computer. 

That being said we have had a lot of teams make moves since last week so let's get to the poll.

1. (7) Nashville  5-0-3  13 points
Only team without a loss in regulation 

2. (8) Los Angeles  6-2-0  12 points
Loss of Drew Doughty to injury could be a concern
