"The 2025-26 NHL season is a special one, as players will be competing in the Olympic Games for the first time since 2014. Eleven of 12 teams in the tournament have revealed their rosters -- what's the holdup, Italy? -- featuring a mix of current, former and future NHLers. As part of this week's ESPN NHL Power Rankings -- led again by the Colorado Avalanche -- we've identified the players from each team who will be representing their respective countries in Milan Cortina in February."
"The "most Olympians from one team" honors go to the Lightning, with 11. If we combine them with the Panthers' reps, it's a grand total of 20 skaters who call the state of Florida home going to the Olympics. And, there would be even more if Russia were participating. Next seven days: @ PHI (Jan. 10), @ PHI (Jan. 12), @ PIT (Jan. 13)"
The 2025-26 NHL season features players competing at the Olympic Games for the first time since 2014. Eleven of 12 Olympic teams have revealed rosters filled with current, former and future NHL players. ESPN's NHL Power Rankings are led by the Colorado Avalanche and reflect a 1–32 poll from a panel of commentators, analysts, reporters and editors based on games through Wednesday. Points percentages are current through Thursday and previous rankings reference the Jan. 2 edition. Several NHL clubs supply multiple Olympians, with the Lightning contributing 11 and Denver eight, and Florida heavily represented when combining Lightning and Panthers selections.
