The Columbus Blue Jackets and the NHL suffered a tragic loss overnight with Johnny Gaudreau, and now the driver responsible has been officially arrested.

After plenty of speculation, it has now been announced that former Calgary Flames and current Columbus Blue Jackets star Johnny Gaudreau had officially passed away, and now with the police report emerging, more details are being revealed. On ESPN's Get Up, reporter Mike Greenberg gave one more massive detail on the situation, revealing that the drunk driver responsible for this tragedy has been swiftly arrested and charged with two counts of driving under the influence and death by auto.

The incident occurred when Gaudreau and his younger brother were riding bicycles alongside the road, with the driver reportedly looking to overtake the cars in front of him before hitting the two young men. At 31 and 29 years of age, this is an absolute tragedy for the Gaudreau family and everyone in hockey, but even more than that, it is a reminder of just how devastating drunk driving can be, with the driver expected to face massive punishment.

We once again send all our condolences to the family, friends, teammates, former teammates and especially the communities of South Jersey, Calgary and Columbus, where the star forward touched so many throughout his incredible career.
