Both leagues’ top 12 stayed exactly where they were, even as top-ranked NHL teams traded wins and losses.
Minnesota remains No. 1 in the NFL at 94, with San Francisco second at 89.1; every team in the top 12 held its previous rank, leaving no risers or fallers. Green Bay’s 27-19 win over Carolina was the day’s NFL result, but the Packers stay 12th at 73.4. Carolina leads the NHL at 94, and its 3-2 win over Columbus keeps the Hurricanes atop the index; all 12 positions are unchanged. Second-place Minnesota lost 4-3 to the Islanders and third-place Boston fell 4-1 to St. Louis, while Tampa Bay’s 6-4 win over Winnipeg left the Lightning fourth at 81.
