The Washington Capitals came into Friday night’s game against the Nashville Predators looking to win both halves of a back-to-back. Looking is all they would end up doing as they fell to the Preds 3-2 due to a late third-period tally.
Not good enough at all.

The Washington Capitals had no time to rest after beating up on the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets. The Nashville Predators met them in DC for a cross-conference duel between two teams playing the back half of a back-to-back.
Thomas Novak opened the scoring with a mini-breakaway that beat Charlie Lindgren. Sonny Milano tied things up after a power play had just expired. Yakov Trenin was left alone in front of the Caps’ net to give the Preds their lead back.
Nicolas Aube-Kubel scored his second goal in as many days to tie it back up. Ryan McDonagh with a pretty, go-ahead goal very late in the third.

The Washington Capitals took down the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-2 on Thursday night — their seventh-straight victory on the road –and will get right back at it tonight as they host the Nashville Predators at Capital One Arena.
No, tonight is not the return night of Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson, but my spidey senses tell me Sunday might be the day.
Nashville has been incredibly inconsistent this season as they sit sixth in the NHL’s Central Division. They also played on Thursday night and have won five of their last 10 games.
NBC Sports Washington will have your normal TV coverage. The opening faceoff will be a little after 7 pm.
