KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON: LAST SEASON: 45-26-11, 101 points. Second in Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Barry Trotz (second season, 17th NHL season).
ADDED: F T.J. Oshie, F Justin Williams.
LOST: D Mike Green, F Troy Brouwer, F Joel Ward, F Eric Fehr, F Curtis Glencross, D Tim Gleason.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Ovechkin. When it comes to the Capitals, it's always about the three-time NHL MVP and man of many nicknames - "Alexander the Great," "The Great 8," "Ovi." He just turned 30, and while he jokes about how he isn't keeping count, at some point there will arrive a time when his aggressive style of hit-and-be-hit play will take a toll. Still, Ovechkin scored 53 goals last season, his sixth season getting to the half-century mark.
OUTLOOK: Not much new here: For a half-dozen years or so, the Capitals have entered the season with high expectations, often lived up to them during the regular season, then flopped in the playoffs. Ovechkin has said it's time to stop talking about potential and start doing something when the games count the most. He's never been past the second round of the playoffs and is 3-6 in Game 7s, so not until spring will everything be evaluated.
NASHVILLE: LAST SEASON: 47-25-10, 104 points. Second Central Division. Lost to Chicago Blackhawks in Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
COACH: Peter Laviolette (second season, 436-307-25 over 13 NHL seasons).
ADDED: D Barret Jackman, RW Cody Hodgson.
LOST: C Matt Cullen, D Cody Franson, F Mike Santorelli.
PLAYER TO WATCH: RW Filip Forsberg. The Swede played every game of his first full NHL season and scored a franchise-rookie record 63 points with 26 goals and 37 assists. He became the fifth youngest player in NHL history to lead a playoff-bound team in scoring. Can he match, or better, last season?
OUTLOOK: The Predators believe they were so close to beating the eventual Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks last spring with eight players making their postseason debuts, and now they think they are even better positioned for a title run in their second season with Laviolette's system with Jackman bringing his defensive skills to Nashville. They will have a chance to finish strong with eight of their final 12 games on home ice.
PREVIEW
Capitals-Predators Preview
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer

The Washington Capitals came up short in both attempts to beat coach Barry Trotz's former team last season but would appear to have the upper hand this time against a Nashville Predators team clinging to a playoff spot.

The Capitals look to add to their league-leading point total with a fourth win in row Tuesday night in Nashville.

Washington lost 4-3 in each of its two matchups against Nashville in 2014-15 but was facing one of the NHL's top teams. The Capitals, meanwhile, were sixth in the Eastern Conference before a loss in Nashville on Jan. 16 and seventh before a home defeat March 28.

The roles are reversed this time with Washington (38-9-4) holding a four-point advantage over Chicago for the NHL's best record and Nashville (25-20-8) in control of the West's first wild card. The Capitals have boosted their hopes in the East and for the Presidents' Trophy by winning three straight 3-2 games, taking one in a shootout.

"I think one of the things we have to recognize is everybody has kicked their game to playoff mode. We're going to Nashville. They're going to be in playoff mode," Trotz said. "Fortunately with our record, we have some separation, some money in the bank. At the same time, we can't take that for granted."

Matt Niskanen scored the tiebreaking goal with 14:36 remaining against Philadelphia on Sunday. Alex Ovechkin tallied his 30th, joining Wayne Gretzky and former Capitals forward Mike Gartner as the only players to reach that mark in each of their first 11 seasons.

Ovechkin is making his first appearance in Nashville this season after missing the All-Star weekend to nurse a lower-body injury. Trotz was greeted warmly while coaching the Metropolitan Division team for the 3-on-3 tournament at Bridgestone Arena, and Predators fans gave him a standing ovation in his return to Nashville last season.

He coached that franchise through its first 15 seasons of existence and earned 557 wins while making seven playoff appearances.

Nashville ended a season-worst three-game home losing streak Saturday with a 6-2 rout of San Jose. Viktor Arvidsson had his first two-goal game as the Predators also avoided a third consecutive overall defeat.

"We did a good job like this but we're going to need efforts like this all year to be able to win games like this," said forward Filip Forsberg, who had a goal and two assists.

Forsberg also had a goal and two assists at Washington last March. James Neal has nine goals and five assists in 14 career matchups with the Capitals, and Mattias Ekholm scored in each of last season's two meetings.

Ovechkin has eight goals and four assists in 11 lifetime games against Nashville and four in his last six overall, with two coming on the power play. The Capitals, however, are 0 for 17 with a man advantage in their past five contests but have killed eight of nine penalties in the last three.

Nashville has given up three power-play goals in its last two games after killing all 21 penalties over seven contests.

T.J. Oshie's 11 goals against the Predators while with St. Louis were his most against any opponent, and he also tallied nine assists. Nicklas Backstrom has two goals and nine assists in his past seven games against Nashville, but Washington has dropped three straight in the series.

The Capitals have also lost three in a row at Bridgestone.
