NHL Power Ranking - Week 5

Here is how some of the weekly NHL power rankings rate the Maple Leafs.

CBC 6th (+4)

For all those doubting the Buds because of their "soft" schedule, the victory over the Pens was a pretty good indication that the Leafs have made some vast improvements this season.

ESPN 5th (+7)

The Leafs endured a minor setback with 3-2 loss in Ottawa on Sunday but still boast the league's leading scorer in Phil Kessel (10 goals, 18 points) and an impressive 7-3-1 record.

CBS 10th (-1)

Phil Kessel keeps scoring and still leads the NHL in goals and points.

TSN 12th (-3)

He's had moments, but consistency eludes G Jonas Gustavsson, who is 3-3 with a 3.72 GAA and .888 SV% since filling in for injured starter James Reimer.

Fox 8th (+4)

The Leafs are 5-1-1 in their seven one-goal games. If Phil Kessel ever drops off from his current pace, they’ll go through some dry spells.

The Hockey News 9th (+2)

Resilient Leafs can build on surprising record with road games against Devils, Jackets home tilt against Bruins.
