Bon Jovi compliments Matthews, Marner on in-game singing

Approved by the man himself.

Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner were caught on camera signing along to "Living on a Prayer" during a line brawl in the middle of Saturday's game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks.

The pair's singing went viral, earning the approval of Bon Jovi as a result.

Bon Jovi was responding to this tweet from the NHL's official account.

The connection makes sense, the Air Canada Center once had a Bon Jovi banner hanging from the rafters.
