Music City played host to the Crew’s only Western Conference trip of the season. Fifty diehard Roadies came together at Bridgestone Arena to see the Caps take on the Preds. Troy Brouwer netting two and Backstrom hitting the twine once weren’t enough to grab two points, as the Caps failed to score in the shootout.

After a go-ahead goal by Marcus Johansson in the 3rd period, the Preds returned with two more strikes to win.
