How the legal case against driver charged in deaths of Gaudreau brothers could unfold

Sean Higgins , 43 , is charged with two counts of death by auto, reckless driving, possession of an open container and consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle.

Johnny Gaudreau , 31 , and his brother Matthew , 29 , died after they were hit while riding bicycles on a rural road on the eve of their sister Katie ’s wedding.

Johnny played in nine seasons with the Calgary Flames , scoring 210 goals and 609 points.

The Columbus Blue Jackets play their first home game of the new NHL season on Tuesday , hours after Higgins ' scheduled court appearance.

Judge Michael Silviano said he had “significant concerns” about Higgins being released.

Prosecutor Flynn said a driver who was ahead of Higgins before the crash described him as speeding toward their vehicle, then slowing down, accelerating again and tailgating before deciding to pass the vehicles.

Higgins could face a sentence of up to 20 years — 10 years for each victim.

The team is wearing a blue sticker with a grey trim on their helmets throughout the season .
