Nashville at Washington

The Nashville Predators were dominating over a good chunk of the season, but they have really hit the wall late in the season. They enter tonight's game vs. Washington at 7-11 in their last 18 games. They are off two consecutive huge wins agaainst Montreal and Tampa Bay, and they had to leave a lot on the ice to get those wins. As a result, thy could easily be fatigued and mentally absent tonight. The Prdators have done most of their heavy lifting on home ice as they have a losing record on the road. Washington is playing well right now winning four of their last five, allowing 10 total goals. The Predators have struggled to a 3-8 road record in their last 11 on the road vs. a team with a winning home record, and the Caps are 16-7 here in their last 23, and have taken four straight here vs. Nashville. Play on Washington.
