The Ottawa Senators kicked off their preseason with a thrilling 6-5 overtime win against the Toronto Maple Leafs, showcasing some impressive talent.

Forwards Jan Jenik and Cole Reinhardt both had standout performances, each racking up four points-Jenik with a goal and three assists, and Reinhardt with two goals and two assists. In overtime, Carter Yakemchuk was the hero.

But let's talk about what happened during the moment of silence for the late Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau before Sunday's game at Scotiabank Arena. The Blue Jackets are planning to honor the Gaudreau brothers throughout the season with special tributes on their helmets and jerseys.

The team also set up a Gaudreau Memorial at Nationwide Arena, right outside the Cosi Fan Zone. They've announced that it'll be on display all season long. It's a great way for fans to pay their respects and remember the impact the brothers had on the game and their community.

They players will be wearing a blue sticker that reads "GAUDREAU," flanked by two doves representing the numbers 13 and 21-the jerseys the brothers wore during their careers.

As the entire hockey community came together to pay their respects with 13 seconds of silence, it was disappointing to see some Leafs fans choosing to cheer instead.

This wasn't the time for team chants; it was a moment meant to honor two exceptional players and even better people.

As teams and fans gear up for the next matchup at the Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday, let's hope we see better results on the ice and more respect from fans in the stands.
