Metropolitan Division Power Rankings: The Pretenders
The Hurricanes are horrible. Right now, they are clearly the worst team in the Metropolitan Division. The scary thing for Canes fans? They will likely getting even worse once they start trading away more of their players. <strong></strong><strong><a href=. (12-23-4). . Carolina Hurricanes. 8. team. 109

Metropolitan Division Power Rankings: The Contenders
95. The Rangers have been playing extremely good hockey as of late. They were one of the only two teams in the NHL to beat the Washington Capitals in regulation in December. However, the Caps have been playing extremely well too. Such is life in the Metropolitan Division. <strong></strong><strong><a href=. (21-11-4). . New York Rangers. 4. team
(21-11-7). . Washington Capitals. 3. team. 19. The Washington Capitals are playing excellent hockey right now They lost just twice in regulation during the month of December. The scary part?<b> <strong><a href=
. Pittsburgh Penguins. 2. team. 92. The Penguins, after starting hot, have tailed off a little bit thanks to injuries. The reason that they’ve been hanging in there? <strong><a href=. (24-10-5)
106. The Islanders are legitimate contenders in the Metropolitan Division. They are currently tied with the Pittsburgh Penguins for first place. They are currently playing much better hockey than the Pens, so they’ve got my vote for first place. My only concern with them is their defense. Their offense is outstanding. <strong><a href=. (26-12-1). . New York Islanders. 1. team
