Capitals kick Blue Jackets when they're down
Washington ends Columbus' streak and starts a Twitter war
The Columbus Blue Jackets were no doubt feeling down about having their win streak end (just short of historic) at 16 games. But the Washington Capitals didn't care.
Following their 5-0 clean sheet, Washington jokingly mocked their opponent on Twitter.
