This comes off heels of the 3 back to back wins against the St. Louis Blues, the Seattle Krakens and the Calgary Flames last week. This greatly improves their overall record which is now 8-0-0.

With a great start like this, the Jets are looking to have a very great run overall for this hockey season. There does not seem to be an identifiable flaws or weaknesses with the Jets as they seem to be doing great in terms of training, team chemistry and clear plans in terms of the right plays.
The 2024/25 power ranking number 1 spot was held by the New York Rangers not to long ago. However with the recent winning streak by the Jets, They took the top spot with what some sports analysts now say a perfect start for any team so far this season.
While, The Jets are flying high at the number 1 spot, the same cannot be said for some of Canadas other hockey teams including the Vancouvers very own Canucks.
As the season started, The Vancouver Canucks has been falling behind and is currently at number 7 on the list. This comes off the shaky start they had for their first 3 games this season with them losing against Tampa Bay Lightning, Calgary, and Philadelphia. However, its been all uphill since after a tremendous 4 game win streak against the Florida Panthers, the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Chicago Blackhawks.

With their comeback in their last 4 games they sit at the top 7 spot on the list and if they continue this streak maybe the might be able to reach the number 1 spot. Its very early in the season after all so anything is possible.
While the Canucks are in the top 10 with the chance of taking the top spot, the same can’t be said for another beloved Canadian hockey team, The Toronto Maple Leafs who are currently sitting at No. 22 on the list.
The Maple Leafs were off to a great start with back to back wins against Los Angeles, New Jersey and Pittsburgh after their first loss to Montreal at the beginning of the season. However apart from one win against Tampa Bay, they have lost their last 4 games against New York, Boston, Columbus and St. Louis.

However, don’t write them off just yet. Since its early in the hockey season, they still have plenty of time to make their way up the ranks to the top 10 or even the number 1 spot.
With the start from all 3 of these teams this early into the season, there are many questions and possibilities that can happen leading to the end. Will The Jets hold their place at the top? Can the Maple Leafs make an insane comeback to rise up the ranks? Will The Canucks takeover the top if their win streak continues? Only time will tell as we head into another great hockey season.
