It’s Sunday and the NHL regular season is in session, so you know what that means. Grab your coffee and let’s take a look at the very brief opening standings for the first time this year.
We are happy to report that your Pittsburgh Penguins start the Sunday Standings with the most points of anyone in the division, tied with Carolina. (Just go ahead and please ignore than they’ve played more games than Carolina and also every other team and the fact that the season is only about 1% complete).
