KHL.ru goes on with the weekly column that features the top 12 teams in the League. These are the results of the eleventh week.

Power Rankings are a new indicator mathematically calculated basing on the team's performance in the season. The teams started with the same points, and for each regulation win, each side will "steal" the other 25% of its points. In case of an OT or SO win, the loot will drop to 12.5%. Thus, the Power Rankings will indicate what teams are on the run, are defeating their direct competitors, and having winning streaks.
The Nizhny Novgorod-based team had an intense week, beating Dinamo Minsk at home, and then Sibir in Novosibirsk. However, in the next game, David Nemirovsky’s team failed to score on Traktor, giving Vladimir Yurzinov his first win for the Chelyabinsk side.

The Hawks’ game isn’t at its best right now due to so many injuries. Bob Hartley’s side lost to Avtomobilist in OT, then couldn’t stop Teemu Pulkkinen. However, Avangard had a convincing shutout victory over Vityaz in the week’s tail.
At the start of the season, Avtomobilist led the Eastern Conference, then started a long negative streak. However, the team seems to have reached the end of its crisis, after defeating CSKA and Avangard with some unbelievable saves by Jakub Kovar.
This week, Jokerit returned home after a four-game road trip and finally got the best of Dynamo Moscow, their most uncomfortable opponent in the KHL.
Ufa found two wins over Kunlun Red Star and Amur, two teams in excellent shape. Even losing to Ak Bars didn't hurt them too much in the Power Rankings.
After a winning trip in the Far East, SKA could keep its winning streak alive at home. Currently, two of the hottest players in St. Petersburg are two WJC-bound players – Kirill Marchenko and Danila Galenyuk. Andrei Kuzmenko has also shown excellent shape.
The Blue-and-Whites didn't have their best week. Dynamo managed to win in Riga only thanks to a goal by Vadim Shipachyov just one second to the horn in OT and then had a bad game against Jokerit.
There’s no need to be surprised – Admiral is playing nothing short than great this season. Most recently, they posted a win over Metallurg in a fantastic match and defeated Sibir in Novosibirsk.
The first three spots in the rankings changed this week. The Railwaymen slipped down to the third position after losing to Spartak in Mytischi. However, the team led by Mike Pelino is showing great hockey, even during SO battles.
Last week, Spartak had a great showing in its back-to-back games in Mytischi, winning both times. First, they defeated Lokomotiv, then they thumped Dinamo Minsk. On Monday, the team led by Oleg Znarok had another win, this time in a dramatic game against Neftekhimik.
Dmitry Kvartalnov’s team can break its record for the most wins in a row already this week. Moreover, the newly acquired players started off great – Roman Rukavishnikov and Viktor Tikhonov showed to have fully adapted, while Nikit Dynyak had a four-point game against Barys.
