Metropolitan Division Favorites
The winners of the Metropolitan Division in the NHL last season were the New York Rangers, who finished with the best record in this division and in the NHL as a whole. Their 114 points were the best in the league, which meant home-ice advantage in the playoffs. This year, the Rangers are struggling to keep up with some of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, though, as their division title defense is on thin ice (pun intended).
The current favorites in the NHL Metro Division are the Washington Capitals. Washington is at the top of the standings in this division so far this year. And while they are behind the Devils and Hurricanes in the odds to win the Eastern Conference, their level of play on the ice could change that status in a hurry.
Also still in contention to win the Metropolitan Division are the New Jersey Devils and Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes nearly took the Rangers out in the playoffs a season ago and will have their sights set on revenge against them and the rest of this division throughout this season. Meanwhile, the Devils are healthy again which has meant a good start to the season, especially on the road where they have a winning record.
Speaking of road wins, that has been the area where Washington has deserved the most credit this year. The Caps have one of the best road records in all of hockey, with their defense being a big reason for their success both at home and on the road. As long as the Caps continue to make life difficult on opposing attacks, Washington could not just close things out in the Metro Division standings, but in the race to represent the East in the Stanley Cup Final.
