CALGARY, Alberta—The Calgary Flames paid tribute to longtime star Johnny Gaudreau on Tuesday night before their game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, months after the All-Star was killed while biking on a New Jersey road this summer.

Known as “Johnny Hockey,” Gaudreau played the first eight of his 10 full seasons with Calgary, where he developed into one of the NHL’s top players. He spent his last two seasons with the Blue Jackets.
