Some teams have been able to continue their success from last season (Carolina Hurricanes and our own Boston Bruins), while others are enjoying hot starts, hinting towards a possible breakout (Buffalo Sabres).
We have seen some in-division match-ups early that have brought surprising results. Often, we overlook the importance of these in-division match-ups at the beginning of the season while highlighting them as the playoffs approach.
The Boston Bruins have not played any in-division teams after two weeks, but they have continued their dominance over the Western Conference after finishing last year 25-5-5 against the West Coast.
