NHL legend Henrik Lundqvist reflects on Johnny Gaudreau's death: 'Such a tragedy'

News national correspondent Griff Jenkins reports on the suspect charged in the deaths of NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother on ‘Special Report.’

The hockey world was stunned back in August when NHL All-Star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, were killed while riding their bikes in New Jersey.
