Sean Higgins, the man responsible for the death of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau faces judge again.

Johnny and his brother Matthew were struck by a vehicle near their home in Salem County, New Jersey, on Thursday night. Unfortunately, both Johnny and Matthew passed away as a result of the accident.

After the incident, Sean Higgins first court appearance was on August 30th where he showed little remorse for the events that just unfolded. After learning he would have to stay behind bars for a few days, he let out a dejected "sigh". Today, we learnt that Higgins faced a judge yet again.

The 43-year-old, who popped up in a New Jersey courtroom on Thursday morning virtually, notably was no longer in an anti-suicide smock ... instead, he was seen in a simple orange jumpsuit. He also had a different facial hair style ... sporting a thick goatee.

The judge had been expected to make a ruling on Higgins' pretrial conditions at the hearing ... but the proceedings were postponed after just a few seconds. Higgins is now slated to remain behind bars until his next meeting with the judge on Sept. 13.

The next court date is set for September 13th which is quite ironic considering that was Johnny Gaudreau's jersey number. According to reports, Sean Higgins had quite a different look about him during the recent court proceedings.

Higgins is currently facing two charges of death by auto after authorities say he admitted to cops that he drank "5-6 beers" before the accident. NHL enthusiasts now have to wait until September 13th for the next update.
