Hot 5:
1. Nicklas Lidstrom - you notice how quickly he's moved up the ladder jumping up from 14 to 6 on the list. He's riding a six game point streak, not to mention, he also had a monster game against St. Louis with a hat trick and one assist. He's scored four goals and six assists in the past six games. He's on a monster tear. 
2. Drew Doughty - he's jumped up 17 spots in the rankings with an assist in four straight games as well as monster minutes and a great +/- ranking. 
3. Jack Johnson - He's also jumped up 7 spots and points in six straight games! He's also on a good streak with the +/-!
4. Tobias Enstrom - He's had a couple two goal games and played very well as of late for the Thrash.
5. Dan Boyle - He's averaging almost a point per game as of late and is making waves with his play. Although he didn't go up in the rankings, he is still a very very good player.

Cold 5:
1. Kimmo Timonen - No points in the last four games with a -2 over that span and not really getting many points as of late.
2. Stephane Robidas - No points in the past five games, he's scored 7 points in the past 14 games.
3. Bryan McCabe - He's had some terrible games as of late, but he'll resume scoring again in the near future.
4. Mark Giordano - he's got three games with no points and 1 assist in the past 6 games.
5. Anton Stralman - one point since he came back from injury and no points in the past six games.

More to come next week!
