An emotional ceremony was held in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday night ahead of the Blue Jackets home opener to pay tribute to Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew -- who were killed by a suspected drunk driver this summer in their home state of New Jersey.

Both men died in late August when they were struck while riding bicycles on the eve of their sister's wedding.

Johnny Gaudreau was a star player for the NHL team and a banner was raised to the rafters in his memory.
