As Sunday begins, here’s our weekly look at the standings in the Eastern division as of this morning:
The Penguins have now been the best team in the division in the last 10 games, as the Islanders are a bit quietly slowing down a touch. If Boston takes advantage of their two games in hand on the other teams they could be right in the mix for a top spot in the division.
The last week saw the following results. Green is a win of any sort, a yellow is an OT/SO loss that results in one point in the standings, the dreaded red is a regulation loss
Let’s take a quick trip around the division to talk about the important points of what is going on, with a mind to how it affects the Penguins.
