The Columbus Blue Jackets are planning to honor the memory of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau throughout the 2024-25 season, according to an announcement from the team. Beginning with the Blue Jackets' first preseason game against the Buffalo Sabres on Sept.

Matthew Tkachuk estimates that he tells a story about Johnny Gaudreau’s exploits, both the on-ice and off-ice variety, to somebody at least once a week. And he’s not going to stop, either.
