The Capitals have struggled some in recent games, but the Capitals have done enough to still sit in first place in the Metro Division. However, what the Capitals need to do is start to play at a consistently high level if they are going to be able to continue to pick up wins as the shaky offense in the game against the Blue Jackets coupled with the defense that was good, but not up to par could make it difficult for the Capitals.

With the Capitals the team has been able to play decent on the road so far as they have only dropped 6 road games and picked up 14 road wins. However, the Capitals when it comes to playing on the road they have scored 3.41 goals a game,but the defense for the Capitals is giving up 3.09 goals a game.
The Predators are coming into the game here with 2 straight losses, but it is something the Predators do have a good chance of changing here and that would be something the Preds would love to do. The last meeting between the Capitals and the Predators took place on New Years Eve in Washington and it was a game that saw the Predators completely dominate the game with a 6-3 win.

The Predators on the home ice are coming into the game with a total of 2.95 goals a game being scored, but the Predators defense is giving up 2.09 goals a game.

The Predators are a good home team and that is something that will definitely show up big in this game here. The Capitals have played decent on the road, but the Capitals are going to have a strong showing in the game here, but still fall short as the Predators have a good showing with the defense in the game. Final Score Prediction, Nashville Predators win 3-2.
