Anyone get off work early enough this week to catch any Metro games? I did — including the two that mattered most. A big star made his return after long-time injury, Elvis Merzlikins had a polarizing week and the Philadelphia Flyers struggled to stop their skid.
Also, what did John Tortorella have to say, this time about All-Star Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils? All that and then some this week in the Metropolitan Division.
Carolina Hurricanes (35-8-2)
The ‘Canes split the week with games against the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Vancouver Canucks.
