Another Sunday game for the Pens means another Sunday Standings post a day early. Rejoice!
And, would you look at that, we have a new first place team this morning in the Metropolitan Division, and they are none other than your 5x Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins!

Points percentage and the games played column shows this is pretty much a mirage right now, since Carolina has only one point less than Pittsburgh, and with a significant four games in hand. So, yeah, really the Hurricanes are the best-positioned team as of right now, but, pssh, I don’t see the #1 next to their team this morning.
