Deseret News has released its latest NHL power rankings, placing the Edmonton Oilers at the top spot. The Oilers' rise comes after a strong performance, including a game against the Utah Mammoth on March 24, 2026, in Salt Lake City, where captain Connor McDavid controlled the puck against Mammoth center Nick Schmaltz.
The rankings reflect the Oilers' consistent play early in the 2026-27 season, with McDavid leading the offense. The team will look to maintain its position as the season progresses.
