The wait is finally over, as NHL-style power rankings are out, and fans are excited about it. As we see our favorite players playing on the ice the same way, we love to watch them become fashion icons. Today in this blog, we will look at the top player in the NHL ranking, who is the king of fashion and is still vying for the number one spot.

The offseason was full of interesting, season-changing headlines, with critical injuries, signings, and draught picks affecting lineups. As the season progresses, some players prove their worth and live up to the preseason hype, while others struggle to get going. Without any further ado, let's take a look at the NHL power rankings below and see if you agree with how we have listed everyone:

Anthony Duclair

With his expressive outfits during the season, Anthony Duclair helped the Panthers become a fashion force. His highest ranking was No. 3, and he made four appearances. Fans anticipate that he will offer some No. 1-worthy fits when he returns from his Achilles surgery rehabilitation amid the season.

Yanni Gourde

Gourde maintained a nautical theme throughout Kraken's first season, and fans adore him for it. During the first year as a team, he was one of the more visible Kraken players and clearly understood that dressing the part was part of the job. Even though he only made two appearances in the style power rankings, they were at Nos. 1 and 2.

K’Andre Miller

Miller was, without a doubt, the style emerging star of the year in his first NHL season without COVID-19 restrictions. The Rangers started promoting pictures of every player wearing tracksuits after the season, so fans didn't expect him to place higher on our end-of-season list. He made four appearances on the list, peaking at number four.

Adam Lowry

Lowry has a personal style that is vaguely reminiscent of a remarkable college professor, and he has remained steadfast in his commitment to the overall piece. He seamlessly walked the line between sticking to his look and keeping it fresh. His ranking was all over the place, with five appearances ranging from No. 1 to No. 10. 

However, while he will have been pleased with how his rankings have been on an individual and personal note, he will be hoping that he can help the Winnipeg Jets reach the postseason, and then potentially challenge for the Stanley Cup.

With the team currently performing rather well, there are a number of NHL odds to have been made available regarding the team’s chances, which will have attracted punters especially as wagering online across Canada has started to experience a boom due to changes in its laws. Nonetheless, performances will need to be more consistent and steady than Lowry’s fashion power rankings.

Mathieu Joseph

Joseph spent the entire season in the middle of the pack, preferable to a No. 1 appearance followed by a dropoff. Fans regard Joseph as the NHL's master of the excellent, modern, but never flashy look. His suits are classic but exciting, with a few personal touches reminiscent of his suburban Montreal roots.

Elvis Merzlikins

Elvis' style and demeanor live up to his legendary moniker, and even when the Blue Jackets weren't in the spotlight, his ensembles were a season's highlight. In the 2021–22 style power rankings, Merzlikins, a devotee of suspenders, hats, and joker outfits, peaked at No. 2. He made five appearances.

Ryan Reaves

When it comes to dressing consistently, Reaves was king. He is not flamboyant and doesn't need to be; instead, he allows his robust, stable color scheme to do the talking. His expertise is dealing with vivid colors, as shown by the solid purple and green profusion this season. 

P.K. Subban

Subban has always had a great sense of style, contributing to his continued status as an NHL rarity. It should come as no surprise that he ranks among the most notable risk-takers in hockey. He finished with five overall appearances, three top-five showings, and one Missin Curfew shout-out.

David Pastrnak

Pastrnak dominated the power rankings for 2021–22. In addition to having three No. 1 rankings, he had the most cumulative appearances (nine). Although he doesn't mind taking chances, his subdued appearances have a Pastrnak twist.

Conclusion

One of the things that fans enjoy about hockey is seeing what the athletes wear as they enter the arena. Whatever sport it is - players like to express themselves through what they wear before games. It is enjoyed not only by the players but also by the fans.
