Suddenly we’re getting deep into October, and NHL teams are starting to figure out how their start is going to unfold for the 2022-23 season. Here’s the look at the league standings this morning for the Metropolitan Division.
The Penguins are riding pretty as one of only three teams across the league that has yet to be defeated in regulation. The others are a curious bunch of Detroit (who has two OT losses) and St. Louis, who has only played three games so far. Pittsburgh’s +15 goal differential ranks first in the league too — scoring six goals in the majority of the games and getting some quality goaltending goes a long way to help!
