TheAtlantic Division is a name used by theNational Hockey League to describe a division of teams in theEastern Conference.
The original Atlantic Division, the predecessor of which was thePatrick Division, was formed in 1993 as part of the Eastern Conference in a league realignment.
As part of a 2013 realignment, the entirety of the former Atlantic Division was realigned into theMetropolitan Division. The Atlantic Division name was assigned to a new division comprising the formerNortheast Division plus theFlorida Panthers and theTampa Bay Lightning (coincidentally, both were members of the original Atlantic Division until 1998) from the now-defunctSoutheast Division, and theDetroit Red Wings, who moved from theCentral Division of theWestern Conference.
This division features a number of classic and modern NHL rivalries, includingBruins–Canadiens,Bruins–Maple Leafs,Canadiens–Maple Leafs,Maple Leafs–Red Wings,Maple Leafs–Senators, andLightning–Panthers. Games between the division's three Canadian teams, plus the Bruins and Red Wings, are frequently featured onHockey Night in Canada as its main attraction.
