The Metro Division is one that has some of the teams that are slated to make it back to the playoffs. Look for the Metro to definitely be one of the most interesting divisions, for the playoffs and that could really showcase the power of the Metro Division and how good the competition is for the Capitals and other teams and help explain why they are always a threat to win the Stanley Cup.

Speaking of the Washington Capitals they are one team that can really play strong and potentially win the Stanley Cup. The Capitals, though, when the pause happened had started to struggle and were being tracked down in the division, but at the pause had a 1 point lead. The Capitals offense has scored 240 goals, but allowed 215 goals.

The Flyers are definitely one of the most improved teams and one that could be a legitimate threat to win the Stanley Cup from the Capitals. The Flyers had started to run down the Capitals and now look like a team that could continue to play at a very high level. The Flyers have scored 232 goals, but have only allowed 196 goals.

The Penguins are one team that could come into the playoff picture here to start to get the win and power as well. The Penguins have managed to get a total of 86 points on the year so far. When it comes to goal scoring the Penguins have netted 224 goals and only allowed 196 goals.
