But man, they flipped the script lately, looking unstoppable after crushing the Washington capitals 8-1 in their last matchup. Over the past couple weeks, they've won five of their last six games, bouncing back hard from a six-game skid. That includes a solid 4-1 win over Detroit, right after the latest power rankings dropped, when they stood at 31 wins, 36. Losses and 9 overtime losses. Power rankings from the athletic have them climbing, up to number 29 overall, a small jump, but assign their heading the right way. Folks are noticing this spark, especially with a roster pack with the young talent, getting key ice time to build for tomorrow. Standouts like Gabe Perot and Will Caillil, each notched hat tricks in those recent blowouts, while Adam Fox is tearing it up on a seven-game point.
