Three weeks are officially on the books for the NHL, and the action is already packed.
The teams are starting to go their separate ways, but the movement up and down the divisions is still fast and furious – and likely will be for the foreseeable future. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are ridiculous, not much to say about it.
The Golden Globe nominees came out on Wednesday, so what better way to see this week’s Power Rankings than by paying homage to the TV and film landscape?
Here’s a look at each team, through the eyes of the cinema, for week three.

Imagine: Roy Hobbs is in a hospital bed. He’s getting better. Years later, he signed with the Knights. He hits the lights with a monster home run and the Knights win the NL pennant and everyone is happy.
