The Penguins are on a rare 3 game losing streak, and it's showing in the standings this week as another Metro opponent is currently on a long win streak and some separation is starting to take place within the division. Columbus is still on top, but the Capitals are hot on their heels. The Capitals have a much tougher upcoming week than the Jackets; the Capitals will be starting a 3 game road trip starting with a rematch in Pittsburgh on Monday night, after taking on the Flyers Sunday in DC.
Can Washington extend their win streak and take over first place over Columbus, or will Columbus continue their franchise's best season?
