The Calgary Flames and Columbus Blue Jackets paid joint tribute to late NHL All-Star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew Tuesday night in the first matchup between the two teams in Calgary since the brothers were killed in August.

An emotional ceremony for Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau is expected prior to Tuesday's rematch between the Blue Jackets and Flames in Calgary.

Former Calgary Flames favourite Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew will be honoured Tuesday night at the team's home game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are in Calgary to take on the Flames in what looks to be an emotional night in Alberta.

A ceremonial puck drop and video montage will air before the game to honour the former Flame’s legacy, who spent nine seasons with the team. The tribute marks the first home game between the Flames and the Blue Jackets since the Gaudreau brothers were killed by a suspected drunk driver in New Jersey in August.

After the heartbreaking news that Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were tragically killed by a drunk driver on August 29, 2024, the Gaudreau family will be in attendance at the Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Calgary Flames game on Dec. 3 to honour them.

The Calgary Flames will host the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Tuesday night, marking the first time this season that both teams that the late Johnny Gaudreau played for will face one another in the venue that Gaudreau called home for the first several years of his NHL career.
