Cole Hutson<\/a> had his first two-goal game in the NHL for the Capitals (8-4-0), who won 5-2 against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday. Aliaksei Protas<\/a> and Jack St. Ivany<\/a> each had two assists, and Charlie Lindgren<\/a> made 24 saves.<\/p>\n

Filip Forsberg<\/a> scored two goals, Roman Josi<\/a> had three assists, and Saros made 25 saves for the Predators (4-4-5), who are 1-2-2 in their past five games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it was a good performance tonight. We just didn\u2019t get anything out of it,\u201d Predators coach Andrew Brunette said. \u201cThere were little lulls where we made some mistakes and let in some goals a little bit uncharacteristically, and we just couldn\u2019t grab that extra goal later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forsberg put the Predators ahead 1-0 during a 5-on-3 power play at 12:48 of the first period. He one-timed Josi\u2019s cross-ice feed from the left face-off dot, scoring on the man-advantage for the third consecutive game.<\/p>\n

Hutson tied it 1-1 at 16:13, pinpointing a wrist shot from the bottom of the right circle to beat Saros on the near side.<\/p>\n

\u201cI took a look up and saw a little space, so kind of just a hope play,\u201d Hutson said. \u201cI\u2019m lucky it went in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cole Hutson had his first two-goal game in the NHL for the Capitals (8-4-0), who won 5-2 against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":946122,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-946121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=946121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946121\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/946122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=946121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=946121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=946121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
