Police said the motorist stayed at the scene, and investigators are now looking into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Gaudreau — who was branded “Johnny Hockey” by his fans — spent 11 seasons in the NHL, playing nine of them with the Calgary Flames.
His last two seasons were with the Columbus Blue Jackets — and the team issued a statement about Johnny’s untimely death.
In their remarks, the team said they were shocked and devastated by the tragedy while calling Johnny a great hockey player. More importantly, they said Johnny loved his family and offered their support to his grieving relatives.
Johnny was 31. Matthew was 29.
