WASHINGTON (AP) — Ryan McDonagh scored a highlight-reel goal late in the third period to extend the Nashville Predators winning streak to three with a 3-2 victory at the Washington Capitals. Kevin Lankinen made 30 saves the night after teammate Juuse Saros stopped a franchise-record 64 shots. Thomas Novak and Yakov Trenin also scored for Nashville. The Predators are 4-0-1 in their last five to inch closer to a playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Capitals have lost three of their past five games and had their nine-game point streak snapped.
