Nashville Predators 7, Washington Capitals 2: Taking The Champs Behind The Woodshed

The Nashville Predators like seeing the Washington Capitals, at least this season.

The Preds netted a season-high seven goals in a 7-2 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions at Bridgestone Arena.

In two games this season, the Predators (28-16-4, 60 points) have outscored the Capitals 13-5.

North Pole, Alaska native Pheonix Copley (this is not made up, promise) started in goal for the Capitals (27-14-5, 59 points) and had to work early and often.

Viktor Arvidsson beat Copley five-hole 3:45 into the contest after being sprung on a breakaway from a Mattias Ekholm pass through the neutral zone.
