The 2019 NHL All-Star Weekend comes to a close today and it is back to business for the 2018-19 regular season soon after. At least, it will be for most of the Metropolitan Division. As three teams had games last week, they will get some extra days off in this coming week. This makes it more possible that we could see some changes soon.
That is, changes among two groups. The top group are in playoff positions and can reasonably think about the postseason right now. They are improbably led by the New York Islanders, who had yet another good week of results to stay in first place.
