In this week's Atlantic Division snapshot, I notice how the Pittsburgh Penguins built themselves a nice lead in the division, how the New Jersey Devils and NY Islanders stayed in place, and who Devils fans should cheer for in the upcoming week other than the Devils.

In the first weekly Atlantic Division snapshot of the 2011-12 season, I note that the Penguins left points on the table while tenuously holding onto first, the Devils starting off well along with the Isles and Flyers, and briefly delight in the Rangers being winless.

In the final weekly Atlantic Division snapshot of the season, the five teams are nearly set in position but all have something to play for. As usual, this post touches on that while listing the schedule for the coming week.

In the next-to-last edition of the Atlantic Division Weekly Snapshot, the Philadelphia Flyers still need to ward off the Pittsburgh Penguins for first; the New York Rangers have put themselves in the best spot for a playoff spot; and the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders will fight for fourth.

In the third-to-last weekly Atlantic Division snapshot shows that the division is taking hold. The New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders are all but out of postseason contention and the Philadelphia Flyers are on their way to win it.

In this week's Atlantic Division snapshot, the five teams remain in the same positions in the division but all need to get points to avoid falling within the East and/or keep hope alive of better positions.

In this week's Atlantic Division Snapshot, the Philadelphia Flyers' first place lead isn't so safe, the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders have busy weeks ahead, and the Pittsburgh Penguins will get to rest a little. Note: This post does not include Sunday's results.

In this week's Atlantic Division snapshot, the Philadelphia Flyers tightened their hold on first in the division; the New Jersey Devils continued to stay ahead of the New York Islanders; and the Pittsburgh Penguins failed further into second place.

In this week's Atlantic Division snapshot, the New Jersey Devils remain hot but still have the New York Islanders on their tails; the Pittsburgh Penguins have a brutal week ahead of them, while the Philadelphia Flyers can strengthen their first place spot.

In this week's Atlantic Division Snapshot, the New Jersey Devils swept the week to move themselves into fourth place with a little space. The Pittsburgh Penguins faltered too many times and will watch the Philadelphia Flyers increase their lead this week.
