Capitals vs. Predators Recap: Nashville Rides Three-Goal Second To Win

The Caps struck first, courtesy of the 4th line, and entered the first intermission with the lead. Deficit notwithstanding, Nashville looked to be stronger on the whole, and the Predators turned that advantage into five goals in the final 40 minutes. Nashville 5, Washington 2.

Check back for our full recap later, but first, here's Saturday evening’s Plus/Minus:

  • Plus: Second line. Once again, the best 5-on-5 line for the Caps offensively was the Evgeny Kuznetsov-Justin Williams-Marcus Johansson trio. Kuznetsov again seemed to be able to create threatening situations every shift, and scored late in the third.
