Earlier this week on Monday, Meredith Gaudreau announced the birth of their third child Carter Michael Gaudreau. Johnny Gaudreau’s former teammate and Columbus Blue Jackets alternate captain Erik Gudbranson and his family visited the hospital to meet the newborn.

Gudbranson’s wife Sarah shared a couple of photos on her Instagram stories from the special day. One of the photos shows Erik cradling baby Carter in his arms dressed in a soft blue blanket onesie. Erik wore a dark blazer with a “13” lapel pin, which was a tribute to Johnny’s iconic number.

She also posted a heartwarming photo of their children, Bennett and Zoey along with Johnny’s daughter Noa gathered around Meredith who was holding baby Carter in her arms.

“Welcome to the sweetest little crew,” she wrote in the story.

Johnny Guadreau and his wife Meredith already had a daughter Noa, and a son Johnny Jr. before the tragic death of the NHL star and his brother Matthew in late August last year. At his funeral on Sept. 9, Meredith announced that they were expecting their third child together.
