Capitals vs. Predators Preview: October 10, 2019

The Washington Capitals are off to a satisfactory but rocky start. They haven’t lost a game in regulation, but dropped two in overtime after coughing up two big leads in the third period. If the team wants to get their game on, they need to step up their defense and try again. To compensate, they go on the road to take on the Nashville Predators.

Nashville themselves stand at 2-1-0 after three games. This being only their third home game, the Preds are trying to assert themselves in the Central Division. Though they would have to attend to Backstrom and Carlson, the leading scorers for the Caps this season.

Ovechkin-Backstrom-Wilson

Vrana-Kuznetsov-Oshie

Hagelin-Eller-Panik

Leipsic-Stephenson-Hathaway
