#1: Washington Capitals Vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
This rivalry was already number one on my list even before Eric Fehr signed with the Penguins. Now, it’s even more personal than it was before. The Caps and Penguins have one of the best, if not the best, rivalries in the NHL. Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin have been rivals since before either of the two put on their respective team’s sweater.
This heated rivalry should become even more heated with the improvements that both teams have made over the off-season. The Caps and Penguins are expected to battle it out to win the Metropolitan Division. Each of their three games against the Penguins (October 28th at home, January 24th at home and March 20th in Pittsburgh) on national television should be extremely important to both teams as they battle for first place.
