It is very hard to argue that the Metropolitan Division is the best division in the National Hockey League. It is very close between them and the Central Division. What the New Jersey Devils will have to deal with this season is nothing short of a huge challenge. Five of the eight teams in the Metro have won the Eastern Conference Final and played in the Stanley Cup Final since 2010. The last three Stanley Cups were taken home by a team in the Metropolitan Division.
First up is the Washington Capitals. Last season, the Caps won the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history.
