The hockey world was deeply affected by the tragic loss of Adam Johnson, and his passing sent shockwaves through the entire hockey community. Among those profoundly impacted by his death, Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk felt it more than most.

To Pionk, Adam Johnson was not just a former teammate; he was a cherished best friend. Last week, Pionk candidly shared how Johnson's passing had left a profound mark on him. Johnson had even served as a groomsman at Pionk's wedding, making the memories of their friendship even more poignant.
In the first period of the game, Pionk scored his first goal of the season, extending the Jets' lead to 2-0. It was a moment laden with emotion for Pionk, who returned to the bench and couldn't contain his feelings.
This heartfelt moment transcends the realm of hockey and serves as a significant step in Pionk's healing process. It illustrates the power of friendship and its impact on individuals, especially during moments of adversity.
