Having lost four straight at home, the Washington Capitals probably won't mind heading out on the road. Unfortunately winning at Nashville hasn't proved easy for most opponents lately.

If the Caps want a shot at the second seed in the Eastern Conference they will need to continue their strong play away from home as 10 of their final 15 games are on the road.

It all begins tonight against the Predators, who are searching for a sixth consecutive home win.

If its recent play away from home is an indication, Washington could bounce back as the Capitals are 8-2-2 in their last 12 on the road after starting 7-10-2 this season.

Washington could face a stiff challenge in a renewed Nashville offense that's scored 27 times in five straight home victories.

The Capitals have won consecutive meetings with the Preds but are 2-3-0 with one tie all-time in Nashville.
