Anaheim (at -23) and Buffalo (at -22) have the greatest disparity.
As far as ANA goes, I think they do a good job of playing possum, because they know 1) that they have great goaltending, and 2) that they can score when they get the chances. So they are playing to that style, and I don't think they are poised to fall as much as some do.
BUF is getting enough goals, and enough timely goals, to keep them in games, but they only have 10 regulation wins, along with 4 in OT and 4 in SOs. To me, they seem more poised to settle back down to their stats somewhat. (i.e. they have been somewhat fortunate to date)
