With five out of the eight teams in the Metropolitan Division, this week’s snapshot will be a bit brief. After all, only three teams played a full week as those five played just two games with a five-day break in between. Only one of those three teams took advantage and won their week. That’s why the Washington Capitals are in first place - and with a lead in the standings.

A six point lead in this division is pretty big. Even if everyone used their games in hand and won, the Capitals cannot be caught at this moment.
