The Metropolitan Division looks like it will be the tightest race as we head toward the business end of the regular season.
The Atlantic Division may be the NHL’s “group of death,” but the Metropolitan Division looks like it will be the tightest race as we head toward the business end of the regular season.
As deep as the division is, the oddsmakers do see a clear favorite. The Hurricanes are odds-on favorites to win the Metro at -150 , while the Devils are the second choice at +350, right ahead of Pittsburgh at +400. After the Penguins there’s a big jump to the Rangers at 11/1 and then a gargantuan leap between the Blueshirts and the Capitals, who currently sit at 30/1. That seems long, though it’s down from 50/1 just a few days ago.
But around Thanksgiving the Capitals seemed to turn things around, putting together a hot stretch to vault themselves back into relevancy in the Metropolitan Division. And the hot stretch couldn’t have been timed better as it coincided with strong surges from Carolina, Pittsburgh and the Rangers, meaning had the Caps continued to flounder they would basically be out of the playoff race by now.
