Johnny Gaudreau's wife makes shock announcement while honouring her late husband

The past week has been very tough for the NHL family after the loss of a star on and off the ice in Johnny Gaudreau, and now his wife has made a shock announcement.

The story of the tragic passing of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau has been heartbreaking for so many in the hockey community, and as time goes on, the story continues to get sadder. That continued on Monday as Johnny's wife Meredith made a shocking announcement as she honoured her husband.

Meredith announced that she was nine weeks pregnant, with the couple spending the last few weeks of his life full of excitement, marking the couples third child over the past three years, with every single person in attendance shocked, heartbroken but thrilled for Gaudreau as she will bring her third child into the world.

The entire situation has brought the hockey world together through unimaginable pain and tragedy for the family, who have received support from everyone in the world during this tough time. While this piece of excitement won't be enough to help them heal anytime soon, it's a beautiful moment for the Gaudreau family, and we hope everything goes well for Meredith and the rest of Johnny and Matthew's family as they continue to go through this tough time.
