Matthew Gaudreau, Johnny Gaudreau's younger brother, was expecting to become a father before his passing. His pregnant wife is now receiving support during this difficult time.

As if this story wasn't tragic and unimaginable enough.

«And beyond the messages, there are players who wanted to offer concrete help to the brothers' loved ones. A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to assist Matthew's family, as his partner Madeline is due to give birth in a few months.

Among those who donated is Cayden Primeau: the Canadiens' goalie made a $1,000 donation to Matthew's family.»

A campaign to help the pregnant wife of Matthew Gaudreau, Johnny Gaudreau's younger brother

This is a very commendable initiative. In fact, an incredible number of current NHL players are giving generously.

We can bet that Cole Caufield and others will also contribute.

«I am sharing this GoFundMe for Matthew Gaudreau's wife, Madeline, and their unborn son, Tripp.

All donations will go directly to the family for Matthew's funeral expenses and the eventual birth of Tripp.»

It's a terrible decision, an irresponsible decision by a reckless driver that has deprived three young children of their fathers.

I can't even imagine what this family must be feeling right now.

Our thoughts are with all their loved ones, especially their wives and young children, who, tragically, likely don't even realize that their lives have just changed forever.
