Columbus Blue Jackets left winger Johnny and his brother, Matthew, were both killed in a crash on Aug. 29.
The crash happened in New Jersey, where Johnny’s sister was set to get married the following day. Johnny and Matthew were riding bicycles when a driver attempted to pass two cars and struck the two brothers. They both died from the injuries they sustained.
There will be a memorial service for the Gaudreaus on Monday in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, according to CBS News. The Blue Jackets said it will stream the service on their website.
