"Plus: Big night for players returning from injury, with Dubois picking up an assist less than five minutes into the first period, then adding his first goal of the season on the power play later in the same frame. At the other end of the ice, Logan Thompson was magnificent in his return, including some absolutely insane saves to hold off the Preds' attack."
"Minus: The swing in the third period that saw a Nic Dowd strike get taken away for being offside followed by a Predators' goal to cut the Caps' lead to two was...painful. Thankfully the Caps were able to hold off Nashville afterward, and then get one back late in the third, but that was a rough few minutes. Also ban offside reviews."
The Capitals earned an important pre-Olympic victory over the Nashville Predators with the returns of Pierre-Luc Dubois and Logan Thompson. Dubois recorded an early assist and later scored his first goal of the season on the power play. Thompson delivered an outstanding performance in goal, making several spectacular saves to repel Nashville’s attacks. A third-period sequence saw a Nic Dowd goal rescinded for offside, followed immediately by a Predators score that narrowed the lead to two. The Capitals held on and added a late insurance goal. The game’s standout performers were Dubois and Thompson, with Jakob Chychrun contributing two goals.
