NHL playoff standings update: Hurricanes, Devils battle for Metro

It was a furious Saturday of action around the NHL as 30 of 32 teams were in action. That included the two teams sitting atop the Metropolitan Division -- the Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils -- a duo that will square off Sunday night (7 ET, NHL Power Play on ESPN+) for the final time this regular season.

Each club has one regulation win thus far, and the Canes took a shootout victory on New Year's Day. Taking a quick gander at the Metro standings, the Canes are two points ahead leading into the game, with one game in hand and one extra regulation win this season.
