The Sabres are No. 11 this week, having won four of their first six games. The Senators are right behind them at No. 12, having also won four of their first six. Ottawa is riding a four-game winning streak.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are No. 14, down from No. 12 last week. The Toronto Maple Leafs also tumbled two spots to No. 15.
The Metropolitan Division is next with four teams ranked this week, one fewer than last week, with the New York Islanders dropping out. The Pacific and Central divisions each have three teams this week.
The Super 16 is comprised of voting totals from the 13 NHL.com and LNH.com staff writers or editors that contribute weekly.
Each person puts together his or her version of what they think the Super 16 should look like. Those are submitted and a point total assigned to each. The team that is selected first is given 16 points, second gets 15, third 14, and so on down to No. 16, who gets one point.
Here is the Super 16, with thoughts on each team from various staff members, whose individual rankings are below:
