HERE WE GO AGAIN FOR 2019/20
These team rankings are based on the ELO rating system.
This is purely mathematical based on wins and losses. Each team has a score. That score increases or decreases based on wins and losses. The amount of change is based on the score of the opponent. Eg. If a strong team beats a weak team then they don't gain a lot of points because it is expected. If a weak team beats a strong team then they gain a lot of points and the strong team loses a bunch. It balances out. Streaks can swing a team's rankings by a lot.
For the purposes of my calculations, each team started with 2500 points. K is 100 and doesn't change.
NOTE: I changed the scoring system so that OT/SO wins are lesser than regular wins (half a win). And an OT/SO loss is half a loss.
After 612 games played this season the rankings for Dec 31 2019 are:
