TVA Sports will air a touching interview tonight between Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield and journalist Renaud Lavoie.

As shared earlier, this emotional conversation will be broadcast during the pregame show ahead of the matchup between the Canadiens and the Columbus Blue Jackets.

This promises to be a heartfelt moment involving Caufield.

Cole Caufield speaks to Renaud Lavoie about the loss of his friend and idol, Johnny Gaudreau, in an interview airing tonight

It's bound to be deeply emotional.

Here's a preview:

«In the first few days after, I was in shock and couldn't do anything. Then suddenly, I thought, I want to represent him by changing my number. It's a number I had already worn in his honor.

I didn't know if it would work out. I want to honor him for the rest of my life.»
- Cole Caufield

Watch the clip:

We already knew that Johnny Gaudreau's passing deeply affected Cole Caufield (and continues to), but we never imagined it to this extent.

It's impossible to fathom the pain that comes with such a loss.

One thing is certain: Johnny must be incredibly proud of his friend Cole Caufield right now. Caufield is having an outstanding season and is proving himself to be an exemplary athlete.

At 23 years old, Caufield has scored 12 goals in 17 games since donning the iconic number 13. Beyond his performance, he is becoming a remarkable young man, a fantastic role model for the next generation.

The full interview will air tonight on TVA Sports.
