They have won six games in a row to sit top of the Metropolitan Division.

The rest of the league looks pretty even with most if not all teams still in with playoff opportunities. The only exceptions being the five win pair of New Jersey Devils and LA Kings in the Eastern and Western Conference respectively.

The Bruins have the best record in the Eastern Conference and goaltender Tuukka Rask is largely to thank for that. The Finn has saved 95% of the shots he has faced, helping the Boston side to a 10-1-2 start.

Colorado are one of the best in the West and Nathan McKinnon has impressed for them. He scored in his team’s opening 13 games before they were held in a shutout loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday night.
