The family of NHL Superstars Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, who were killed by an alleged drunk driver in New Jersey, are fighting for police records from that horrific night to remain sealed.

On Thursday, the grieving family filed a court motion to prevent any possible release of records, including the 911 calls, videos, photos, autopsy images, or investigative reports related to their deaths on August 29, according to NJ.com.

The motion comes on the heels of a potential negligence claim and images of handwritten notes taken by police officers at the scene that were shared widely across social media.

The brothers were killed when the alleged drunk driver crashed into them while riding their bikes together the night before their sister's wedding.

Johnny, 31, and Matthew, 29, were set to be groomsmen in Katie Guadreau's nuptials.
