NHL 2013/14 Week 2 Player Rankings

Below are my week 2 player rankings for the 2013/14 season. They are ranked according to goals, assists, points, +/-, PIMs, PPP, SHP, GWG, shots, hits, blocked shots, and faceoff wins; using modified Z-Scores. Statistics were collected up to Sunday Oct 13. Sidney Crosby clocks in as the best player.

Based on my preseason rankings, my 5 biggest surprises are Nathan Gerbe, Ryan Murphy, Tanner Glass, Jason Demers and David Savard. My 5 biggest disappointments are Mats Zuccarello, Scott Hartnell, Jiri Tlusty, Alex Goligoski, and Michael Del Zotto.
