The hockey season is officially a month old, as of Friday, with the first action of the season kicking off on October 7th. Over the last 31 days, the Metropolitan Division and the Eastern Conference, as a whole, have been incredibly competitive, with the Carolina Hurricanes right in the thick of it at 9-4-0.
