Sami Zayn, a Canadian WWE star, came down the stage wearing a Gaudreau jersey. Gaudreau, who began his NHL career with the Flames, was tragically killed by a suspected drunken driver in New Jersey late last month, on the eve of his sister's wedding.

Many fans who packed the Scotiabank Saddledome for the WWE show also wore Gaudreau jerseys. The memorial service for the Gaudreau brothers was held earlier that day in Pennsylvania.

WWE announcers Joe Tessitore and Jackie Redmond also paid tribute to Gaudreau. Redmond, who also works for the NHL Network and TNT, had a segment during 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," Redmond said. "He was magical to watch."

Zayn spoke to Redmond about the emotional night on "RAW Talk" after the show.

"It makes you think about the time you have here and what you do with it," Zayn said while remembering Gaudreau.

Meredith Gaudreau, Johnny's widow, revealed during the memorial service that she was nine weeks pregnant with their third child.

"John and I had the best six months as a family of four. These will forever be the best six months of my life," she said. "There's specifically one week that I will cherish forever – it will be my favorite week of my life out of those six months. We're actually a family of five. I'm in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby."

"In less than three years of marriage, we've created a family of five," Meredith added. "It doesn't even sound possible, but I look at it as the ultimate blessing. How lucky am I to be the mother of John's three babies? Our last one being a blessing and so special despite these difficult circumstances."

The outpouring of support from the WWE community and fans alike is a testament to the impact that Gaudreau had on people both on and off the ice.
