Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The Washington Capitals have taken the Metropolitan Division throne in this past week. After falling as far as fourth earlier in this season, the Caps have just put in the work, they had a strong run, and unlike another Metropolitan Division team, they didn’t fall apart when that winning streak ended. Now that the dust of last week has settled, here are the standings to start this All-Star Weekend shortened week.

Incidentally, the Caps did this with a very high-scoring week of hockey.
