The Toronto Maple Leafs are making a captaincy change. The Hockey News breaks down why Auston Matthews will become the 26th captain in franchise history. The hockey world will congregate in a suburb of Philadelphia on Monday to pay their last respects to Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. A funeral has been scheduled at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church where the Columbus Blue Jackets and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman will be among those in attendance. According to the Toronto Sun's Lance Hornby, Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving will also attend. Treliving was GM of the Calgary Flames for most of Johnny's time in the organization. On August 29, Blue Jackets star Johnny and his brother Matthews were killed in a fatal biking accident in Oldmans Township, New Jersey. They were struck by a car one day before they were scheduled to be groomsmen at their sister's wedding. The Blue Jackets and Flames will hold a live stream of the memorial on their websites [https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/memorial-service-information-johnny-matthew-gaudreau].
