The Metropolitan teams aren’t having a great week. Their collective record is 8-15-4 — that’s including the records of the Washington Capitals, New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes, the latter of which would rather forget the past few weeks ever happened.
On the bright side, Alex Ovechkin continues to drink from the Fountain of Youth. The Capitals’ captain has another 20-plus goal season under his belt and we haven’t even hit the halfway point yet.
Carolina Hurricanes (16-6-1)
Once considered the team to beat in the NHL, the Hurricanes are starting to look vulnerable.
