If you're still working through what happened in Washington between the Predators and Capitals, you're not alone.
Four lead changes, including a 3-1 advantage for Nashville and a 4-3 lead for Washington in the third period, gave way to a 5-4 triumph for the Predators on Wednesday night at Capital One Arena. The back-and-forth victory is Nashville's eighth-straight win against the Caps overall and their fourth consecutive season sweep.
With the Capitals sitting in first place in the NHL standings and holding a 23-2-3 record when leading after two periods, the dramatic win for Nashville is sure to be cherished even more than most. Still, earning two points to draw within four of the Western Conference's final playoff spot has to be the most important part of the evening.
