Two alums of the final version of that grouping—the Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers—are doing their lineage proud with positions among the top 10 teams in this week's edition of B/R's NHL Power Rankings. The Capitals climbed five positions to No. 3 after staff voting, and the Flyers skipped up two rungs from No. 11 to No. 9.

The teams entered the 2025-26 season in the same boat. Both have had years of disappointing results, with both sides having missed out on the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Yet, the Penguins and Flyers have had promising starts to the season, giving both fanbases hope that their teams will be able to make a push for the postseason.

While this Flyers signing did not get a ton of attention when it was made, it is undoubtedly proving to be a good one.
