While the Atlantic division is getting all the attention this season in the East, the Metro division is yet again showing why the last three Stanley Cups have come from the Columbus Blue Jackets division. The Jackets are 7-2-1 in their last ten games, a great pace, but have fallen out of second place in the division because of the torrid pace of the other top two teams in the division.
The hottest team in the NHL is the Tampa Bay Lightning who haven’t lost since the Bay of Pigs invasion. The next hottest teams though are all in Metro starting with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
