🚨 THE 2026-27 NHL SEASON IS ALMOST HERE! 🚨

We’re only a couple weeks away from puck drop, which means it’s time for the boys from On the Bench with Beeks to put their reputations on the line.

We’re breaking down EVERY NHL TEAM — division by division — predicting the standings, analyzing each roster and picking the players you NEED to watch this season.

First up: THE METROPOLITAN DIVISION. 🏒🔥

The Metro could be absolute chaos this year.

🏆 Who takes the division crown?

📈 Which team makes the biggest jump?

📉 Who takes a massive step backward?

😳 Which contender could MISS the playoffs?

⭐ And who is Beeks’ Player to Watch on every team?

We break down:

🏒 Carolina Hurricanes

🏒 Columbus Blue Jackets

🏒 New Jersey Devils

🏒 New York Islanders

🏒 New York Rangers

🏒 Philadelphia Flyers

🏒 Pittsburgh Penguins

🏒 Washington Capitals

Then comes the dangerous part…

We predict the FINAL 2026-27 Metropolitan Division standings.

Some fanbases are going to love these predictions.

Others are going to want Beeks’ head. 😂
