Two more teams in the Metropolitan Division secured their ticket to the playoffs in this past week. However, in this penultimate weekly snapshot of the Metropolitan Division of this season, the Washington Capitals remain on top. Their lead may not seem very large, but given how they’ve been playing and the fact that the season is nearly up, a small point lead is actually quite large. Still, there’s room for change at the top and there’s additional action occurring among the non-playoff teams.
Starting at the top, the Washington Capitals swept their last week. Three games, three wins, and a little more of a cushion over second place.
