NASHVILLE, Tenn. - James Neal made sure Barry Trotzs homecoming was not a happy one.Neal scored twice, including the go-ahead goal with 1:40 left, and the Nashville Predators beat the Washington Capitals 4-3 on Friday night for their fifth straight victory.They are dynamic off the rush and they are a strong power-play team, said Peter Laviolette, who replaced Trotz as Nashvilles coach this season. So, we were able to control the rush a little bit. The power play was able to get off a couple goals tonight, but they are a lot to handle.Seth Jones and Mattias Ekholm had the other goals for the Predators, who fired Trotz at the end of last season. Trotz was the teams inaugural coach, leading Nashville through its first 15 NHL seasons before taking the job in Washington.During the first media timeout, a video tribute to Trotzs tenure behind the Nashville bench was played. The Winnipeg, Manitoba, native tapped his heart and waved to the capacity crowd as it gave him a standing ovation.The tribute, the class that the Predators continue to show, Im very proud to be a part of the organization for a long time, Trotz said.Alex Ovechkin scored twice and Marcus Johansson also had a goal for the Capitals, who had won three in a row. Washington had earned at least one point in nine consecutive games.Late in the third period, Neal forced a turnover by Matt Niskanen inside the Capitals blue line. Neal then walked in and slipped a shot between the pads of goalie Braden Holtby to give Nashville a 4-3 lead.He kind of went back against the grain, Holtby said. He made a good play.Jones scored the games first goal at 16:16 of the opening period.In the right circle, Calle Jarnkrok won a faceoff against Evgeny Kuznetsov back to Jones at the blue line. Jones moved slightly to his left before snapping a wrist shot through traffic that beat Holtby on the glove side.Neal scored at 1:50 of the second from right in front of Holtby off a shot that originated from Victor Bartley and then was deflected by Mike Fisher.Ovechkin scored a pair of goals 2:32 apart, with both coming from the left side.He connected at 3:46 on a one-timer from a tough angle at the lower part of the left circle off a pass from defenceman Karl Alzner.The Washington captain followed at 6:18 with a power-play goal that beat Nashville goalie Carter Hutton on the short side.Ovechkin has eight goals in his last nine games.Johanssons tally at 2:38 of the third gave Washington its second power-play goal of the game.Ekholm tied it at 15:31 with a one-timer from the top of the right circle on a late Nashville power play.We were kind of rolling a little bit and it was just a matter of time before we could get a goal again, Ekholm said. Just lined it up for a shot there and got the one-timer, so it was nice to see it go in.Hutton made 31 saves in his first home start of the season. He replaced Pekka Rinne, the NHL leader in wins with 29. Rinne sprained his knee in Tuesdays win against Vancouver and is expected to miss three to five weeks. The win was Huttons first of the season.Ive said many times now that I feel like Ive been confident in my game, Hutton said. Its obviously nice to get a home win here, especially with Pekks out. Big win for the guys confidence-wise.NOTES: Fisher has points in five consecutive games. ... Washington is 1-11-5 when its opponent scores first. ...

And now, LeBron James wants time to think. The Miami Heat president met with the four-time NBA MVP on Wednesday afternoon in Las Vegas, two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because neither side publicly disclosed details of the meeting. James, his agent Rich Paul, Riley and Heat executive Andy Elisburg were at the meeting, said one of the people. James has not made a decision and will not make any announcements before Thursday, a person said, adding, "He wants to meet with his family." As he weighs his options, James will not meet with any other teams, the person added. So now, Miami waits. So does Cleveland. So, too, does just about the entire NBA -- because once James picks the Heat or the Cavaliers, the teams believed to be serious suitors for his services, the domino effect of other free agent moves will surely follow. The meeting in Las Vegas lasted for more than an hour and took place more than two weeks after James opted out of his contract and elected to become a free agent, and the day before free agents may begin signing contracts. James spent part of his day before the meeting at his annual skills academy with some of the nations top high school and college players, interacting and observing workouts. That was part of the reason why Riley had to fly across the country to make the meeting happen, with hopes that he would return to Miami from the gambling haven with a huge win -- keeping James in Heat colours for at least another season. He returned to the camp after the meeting, jumping into some games with the high school players. James spent a few minutes on each court during the evening session, high-fiving the kids as he played. And when Shake Milton of Owasso, Oklahoma, hit the deck on one play, James shouted, "Hold on, I got you, stay down," then promptly helped his teammate to his feet. Another highlight came when James showed off his passing skills, throwing a no-look assist to Jayson Tatum of St. Louis for a two-handed slam. When his night of play was over, James got stretched out, had icepacks strapped to his knees and back, then went to the stands and sat with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski -- his Olympic coach -- for about five minutes.dddddddddddd James then exited the building. Several teams have met with Paul during the free-agent process, but it appears James has only one decision to make: Cleveland or Miami, the same choice he pondered four years ago when he decided play with the Heat. With James, the Heat won four Eastern Conference titles and two NBA championships. The Cavaliers didnt sit idle waiting for James and Riley to meet. Cleveland created salary-cap space earlier Wednesday with a three-team trade with the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets, ensuring they have enough to offer the James a maximum contract. But James had said he would meet with Riley and the Heat before making his decision. The meeting came nearly three weeks after Riley addressed reporters following Miamis loss to San Antonio in the NBA Finals, when he insisted that the Heat needed to make some adjustments to get better -- but didnt need a massive rebuilding job to stay at a championship level. "Youve got to stay together if youve got the guts, and you dont find the first door and run out of it if you have an opportunity," Riley said on June 19. "This is four years now into this era, this team, four finals. Its only been done three other times before. And two championships. From day one to the end, it was like a Broadway show. Sort of ran out of steam, and we need to retool. We dont need to rebuild, we need to retool, and thats what were going to do." If James leaves, itll be more than a retooling project that awaits Miami. Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh -- the other members of Miamis "Big 3" of the past four seasons -- are also free agents, and neither has given any hint as to what they will do, though its still expected Wade will not leave the Heat. Miami has just two players under contract for next season, one of those on a partially guaranteed deal. The Heat have also reached agreements with forwards Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger, as well as the draft rights to guard Shabazz Napier, but theres still plenty of jobs to be filled. And the Heat have mostly been in a holding pattern while waiting for James to make his next decision. ' ' '
