Yesterday, Prime Video released the trailer for the second season of their FACEOFF: Inside the NHL docuseries.
The series follows NHL stars behind the scenes and gives fans an in-depth look at a player’s day-to-day throughout the season. Of course, fans only see certain parts of the year that make it into each episode.
For Columbus Blue Jackets fans, Episode 2 is the one to watch. It follows Zach Werenski and Sean Monahan through the tragic loss of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.
Werenski and Monahan were two of Gaudreau’s closest friends, so the episode shows how they navigated the loss while also highlighting how the Blue Jackets’ season unfolded as they narrowly missed the playoffs.
NHL Public Relations described Episode 2 this way:
“The hockey world experienced unimaginable devastation over the summer with the untimely deaths of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew. This episode is about how those closest to Johnny Hockey – his wife, Meredith Gaudreau, and teammates Sean Monahan and Zach Werenski – redefine what it means to be a family, a team, and a community in the face of tragedy.”
The rest of Season 2 features:
- Episode 1: Brady Tkachuk – Ottawa Senators
- Episode 3: Sidney Crosby & Anze Kopitar – Pittsburgh Penguins & Los Angeles Kings
- Episode 4: Brendan Shanahan – Former Toronto Maple Leafs President of Hockey Ops
- Episode 5: Seth Jarvis – Carolina Hurricanes
- Episode 6: Matthew Tkachuk & Brad Marchand – Florida Panthers
The series launches Oct. 3 exclusively on Amazon Prime.
