Thompson, Dubois Ignite Caps' 4-2 Win Over Preds

Thompson and Dubois turn on the jets just when the Capitals need them most, handing the Predators a 4-2 gut check right before players scatter for the Olympic break. Whispers from D.C. locker rooms suggest these two have been grinding through chemistry tweaks for weeks, and now it pays off in a game that quiets some early-season trade chatter. With the league pausing for gold-medal dreams, this result gives Washington momentum that could reshape their deadline strategy.
