In the National Hockey League, the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins have shot to the top of the Metropolitan Division, winning five in a row and eight of their last 10 to pass Washington with 74 points. The Capitals are a point behind now (but have three games in hand). The Philadelphia Flyers have also had a hot run, losing just twice in regulation in their last 10. However, the top three teams in the East are all in the Atlantic Division, with Tampa Bay clinging to a three-point lead over Boston (who has three games in hand) and a four-point lead over Toronto, who has won eight of 10. In the West, we still have Winnipeg leading the Central Division and currently on a three-game winning streak, and we have Vegas leading the Pacific Division and the conference with 82 points, winners of three in a row and seven of their last 10.
