As the NHL regular season moves into the final few weeks, there are some fabulous races going on all over the place. While much of the focus at this time of the year is on the playoff races in each conference, it’s hard to argue against the fact that the most exciting battle is taking place in the Metropolitan Division. You have three teams in there, including the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins, that have all crossed the 100-point barrier, and which are separated by 2 points. The team that wins this division is likely going to be the one that wins the President’s Trophy, which is always a nice little feather in the cap. It was the Washington Capitals, the current leaders in the division, who had the best record in the league last season, so you can bet that one of the other two will want to dethrone them and have home ice advantage through the playoffs. The Penguins will continue the chase on Friday night when they welcome in the New York Islanders. Find the latest NHL betting spreads here.
