Driver who fatally struck NHL’s Johnny Gaudreau and his brother says they were drunker than him at the time

The driver’s blood alcohol concentration was listed as being 0.087% — just over the legal limit, court papers state.
Tests also showed Johnny’s blood alcohol concentration level was 0.129% when he was killed, while his brother had a reading of 0.134%, according to the filing cited by the outlet.
