Sean Higgins, the driver suspected of fatally striking brothers Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, appeared Tuesday in a New Jersey courtroom.

Sean Higgins will stand trial in the death of Columbus Blue Jackets star Johnny Gaudreau after turning down a plea deal in his drunken-driving case.

Late NHL player Johnny Gaudreau’s wife Meredith got a birthday message on Monday from her sister-in-law Madeline, who married Johnny’s brother Matthew.

Johnny Gaudreau's jersey number will be retired by his junior hockey team at a ceremony this weekend honoring him and his late brother, Matthew.

The Blue Jackets should buy at the NHL trade deadline and Mikael Granlund should be their top target to improve their forward core.

When they took the ice for their home opener against the Florida Panthers on Oct. 15, they left an empty space on the left wing. Monahan won the opening face-off, and the teams stood still for 13 seconds with the puck at Gaudreau’s spot. Monahan scored and pointed at his banner amid a 4-3 loss, a moment Waddell said will stick with him forever.

Despite losing Laine and Gaudreau as top scorers, the fast-rising Blue Jackets have impressed GM Don Waddell with a offensive firepower.

Higgins reportedly declined a plea deal asking him to plead guilty to manslaughter charges related to Johnny and Matthew's deaths

Columbus Blue Jackets' alternate captain Erik Gudbranson's wife Sarah, shared a birthday message on her Instagram story for Meredith Gaudreau, the widow of Johnny Gaudreau.

Columbus has dealt with tragedy and other setbacks by getting into playoff position and playing a way that would have made Johnny Gaudreau proud, says Ken Campbell.
