The 41st game of the season for each NHL team has been played, and there's now been enough time for us to digest that first half of the 2025-26 campaign.

And a reminder: It's not too late to sign up for ESPN Fantasy Hockey. New leagues start every Monday, and you can sign up for free today. 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.
