Matthew Tkachuk Reflects on the Loss of Johnny Gaudreau

The hockey star shares emotional memories of his late friend and former teammate, who died in a tragic accident.

Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were killed on August 29 by a suspected drunken driver while bicycling in New Jersey.
Gaudreau and Tkachuk were teammates in Calgary for six seasons before Gaudreau joined the Columbus Blue Jackets and Tkachuk was traded to Florida.
The Gaudreau brothers were killed the evening before they were set to serve as groomsmen at their sister's wedding.
The driver involved in the accident faces multiple charges, including two counts of death by auto and reckless driving.
Tkachuk and the Panthers will play in Columbus on October 15, marking the Blue Jackets' first home game since Gaudreau's death, expected to be a highly emotional event.
