NHL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, fantasy pickup for each team - ESPN

There is still quite a bit of the 2024-25 NHL season left to be played. But after a week and change in the books, there are some clear early risers (and fallers) on our rankings of all 32 clubs.

But beyond the new 1-32 list, do you need some help with your fantasy hockey roster? If so, you're in luck, because Sean Allen and Victoria Matiash have provided a waiver wire target from each team.

How we rank: A panel of ESPN hockey commentators, analysts, reporters and editors sends in a 1-32 poll based on the games through Wednesday, which generates our master list here.

Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to the previous edition, published Oct. 7. Points percentages are through Thursday's games.

Previous ranking: 3
Points percentage: 80.0%

Logan Stankoven, F (68.8% available, 1.9 FPPG, 7.6 fantasy points): The rookie is contributing from wherever coach Pete DeBoer plunks him in the lineup, be it on the top unit or elsewhere. Through his first four games, the versatile youngster provided an assist on goals by five different teammates, including one on the power play.

Next seven days: vs. EDM (Oct. 19), @ BUF (Oct. 22), @ BOS (Oct. 24)

Previous ranking: 4
Points percentage: 87.5%

Will Cuylle, F (98.5% available, 2.3 FPPG, 7.0 fantasy points): Reilly Smith would be the only other likely available place to look, but there's more potential in Cuylle getting enough minutes to earn a fantasy-relevant amount of hits and shots. It looks like this third line will get enough 5-on-5 minutes to do the job.

Next seven days: @ TOR (Oct. 19), @ MTL (Oct. 22), vs. FLA (Oct. 24)

Previous ranking: 6
Points percentage: 75
