FAQs: Washington Capitals vs Nashville Predators

How can I watch Capitals vs. Predators on Oct. 29?

The game is listed on MNMT for the Capitals’ away market and Scripps for the Predators’ home market. NHL Power Play on ESPN+ is also listed for out-of-market viewers; the listing does not specify a particular Scripps station or the access terms for this game.

What time does the game start, and why does the page say Oct. 30?

Puck drop is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m. ET, which is 7 p.m. Central in Nashville. The page’s Oct. 30 date reflects the UTC display; the official U.S. schedule lists the local game date as Oct. 29.

Where is Capitals vs. Predators being played?

The game is at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, so Nashville is the home team and Washington is on the road. The Predators’ local-market broadcast is listed as Scripps, while MNMT is the away-market designation for Capitals viewers.

What kind of game is this in the NHL schedule?

This is a regular-season game, not a playoff matchup. Washington’s published 2026–27 slate is an 84-game regular season, so the result contributes to each club’s standings and pursuit of a postseason place.

Are any players listed as injured or day-to-day?

The matchup page lists Capitals defenseman Matt Roy as day-to-day, with Patrick Thomas and Rasmus Sandin on injured reserve. For Nashville, it lists goaltender Justus Annunen as day-to-day. These are the statuses shown on the page and could change before puck drop.
