The winning goals were scored by Luke Evangelista and Roman Josi.
Beck Malensteen and Alexander Ovechkin scored for the home team. For the latter, this goal was the first scored in regulation time of the match after a streak of 18 matches without a goal. It’s also worth noting that Ovechkin’s second goal in that game was overturned by the referees a minute before the end of regulation time after a challenge from visiting head coach Andrew Brunette.
The Predators have 41 points and are seventh in the Western Conference standings.
Washington has 40 points and is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
