My Thoughts:
*The Caps had a solid first period even though it was scoreless. The Predators scored first but the Caps looked to be in control of things.
*The Caps tied the game when Braden Holtby passed the puck all the way to the Preds blue line to send away Evgeny Kuznetsov who made a brilliant slap pass to Daniel Winnik who scored his first goal as a Washington Capital.
*It didn't take long for the Caps to take the lead as Evgeny Kuznetsov made his back pass to set up T.J Oshie for his 22nd goal of the season.
*Daniel Winnik wasn't done as he beat Carter Hutton with a wrist shot over his glove to give the Caps a 3-1 lead. Dmitry Orlov picked up the assist on the goal. The Caps have been looking for production from the 4th line and they got it last night. That will be huge come April.
*Evgeny Kuznetsov was also not done as he picked up his third assist as he set up Andre Burakovsky who scored his 15th goal of the season to put the game away. Kuzy was a wizard with the puck last night, when he plays like that the Caps are very dangerous.
*Overall I believe the Caps are starting to play the right way again. They got scored on first but the effort was there from the start of the game. It was a power play goal, not a major breakdown. Not only did the Caps beat a good team, but beat them soundly. That's what you want to do against a team that played the previous night. Good all around win.
