Description
The NHL’s Metro Division feels like the division in the most flux going into the 2024-25 season; the New York Islanders and Washington Capitals barely squeaked into last year’s playoffs, the Carolina Hurricanes lost some key talent, and the New York Rangers have a President’s Trophy to defend. In this special Locked On NHL Season Preview Round Table, Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Jon Chik (Locked On Rangers), Zach Martin (Locked On Hurricanes) and Dan Holmi (Locked On Capitals) discuss whether their teams can stay atop a division with some teams hungry to punch back into the postseason behind them. Can the Islanders continue to get by on goaltending? Can the Rangers repeat as the league’s best regular season team? Can Pierre-Luc Dubous ignite Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals? And can the Hurricanes keep their contention window open? All that, plus FanDuel points over/unders, biggest offseason additions, breakout players, and the threats to derail each team’s seasons.
