Aaron Judge, his wife Samantha Bracksieck, and Anthony Volpe were spotted together at the Rangers-Devils Game 3
In Game 3 of their best-of-seven NHL playoff series against the Devils on Saturday night, two of the most well-liked Yankees were present at Madison Square Garden to watch the Rangers lose 2-1 in overtime.
During the second period, Anthony Volpe of the Yankees and Aaron Judge were both recognized on the video board.
The Yankees slugger was wearing a Rangers jersey with the large A, the hockey term for the assistant captain, and was seated between Volpe, who was to Judge’s left and fellow Bomber Harrison Bader.

Later on in the game, Judge was seated next to his wife Samantha Bracksiek on the same row as Volpe and Bader.
James Dolan, the owner of the Rangers and the Knicks, was seated one row in front of Judge and company.
The ardent hockey enthusiast Judge had been to a few playoff games before.
He accompanied colleagues Anthony Rizzo and DJ Lemahieu, who were both sporting Rangers jerseys, to Game 2 of the Rangers-Penguins first-round series last year.
Volpe, who graduated from Morristown, New Jersey’s Delbarton School for high school, and Bader were notable for not wearing Blueshirts shirts, but they appeared to be having a good time.
A two-run home run in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 3-2 victory over the Blue Jays earlier in the day at Yankee Stadium made for a successful day for Volpe.
Judge, who committed to the Yankees in the offseason by signing a nine-year, 360 million deal, is off to a strong start with six home runs.
However, Bader has had a difficult start to the season. Last year, he experienced some significant moments during the playoffs.
The center fielder has not yet participated in a regular-season game due to an oblique strain that has kept him out since early March.
