The final month of 2017 began with the Columbus Blue Jackets in first place as per last week’s Metropolitan Division snapshot. If the headline photo wasn’t a clue, then I can tell you that Columbus has remained in first place.

The results show Columbus at the top and with a slim lead at that.
Here is the upcoming schedule for all eight teams in the Metropolitan.
