The Nashville Predators will be looking to halt a Washington Capitals team that is off to a pretty hot start, as they come into tonight’s game with a 2-0-2 record, which is good for second in the Metropolitan Divison, only behind the league-leading Hurricanes.
Among the Caps players that the Predators have to look out for is Evgeny Kuznetzov, who had just returned from a three-game suspension on Tuesday where he scored a goal in the Capitals 4-3 OT loss to the Dallas Stars.
Another name the Preds should be concerned about is John Carlson, who is off to a torrid start this season, leading the Capitals in points with five in their four games thus far while anchoring their blue line.
