WWE star Sami Zayn, other personalities pay tribute to late NHL star Johnny Gaudreau while in Canada

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

Johnny Gaudreau was on the mind of a few WWE personalities on Monday night when the company hit Calgary, Alberta, Canada, for "Monday Night Raw."

WWE star Sami Zayn came down the stage to address Gunther as he continued to make his case to challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship. Zayn, who is Canadian, wore a Gaudreau jersey. The late NHL star started his career with the Calgary Flames.

Scores of WWE fans who packed the Scotiabank Saddledome for the WWE show were also wearing Gaudreau jerseys as he and his brother, Matthew, were laid to rest on the other side of the continent. The brothers were tragically killed by a suspected drunken driver in New Jersey late last month on the eve of their sister’s wedding.

WWE’s Joe Tessitore and Jackie Redmond also paid tribute to Gaudreau. Redmond is also a broadcaster for the NHL Network and helps with coverage for games on TNT.

Redmond had a segment in the middle of the broadcast that showed the makeshift memorial for the Gaudreau brothers outside the arena.

"He was a special type of player. The type of player who got people out of their seats and onto their feet the second the puck was on his stick," she said. "He was magical to watch."
