Michael J. Fox and Jason Bateman, who starred in the '80s hit films Teen Wolf and its sequel Teen Wolf Too, sat together at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday, May 5, as the New York Rangers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 in the first game of the NHL Stanley Cup playoff series.
Bateman, 55, sported long hair, a beard and a New York Rangers jersey as he smiled next to Fox, 62, in a photo posted on the official New York Rangers Instagram account. Fox looked casual in a brown leather jacket and jeans.
The photo of the former teen wolves was the first in a carousel of images that included other celebrities and notable figures who attended the game.
"#NYR family in the house ??," the caption of the post read.
Fox played the original teen wolf, Scott Howard, in the first film about a "normal" teenage boy who began to turn into a predator. Bateman played Scott's cousin, Todd Howard, in the follow-up 1987 film. Todd was in college before his transformation into a wolf began.
Fox didn't appear in the sequel of Teen Wolf and the former child stars have never been in a film together, but they did run in the same social circles as young heartthrobs around the same age growing up in Hollywood in the '80s. Bateman's sister, Justine Bateman, also played Fox's onscreen sister in Family Ties, the beloved sitcom that helped make Fox a star.

The Spin City star defined what it meant to be "'80s famous" in a recent interview helping PEOPLE celebrate its 50th anniversary.
"We were tougher. We didn’t have social media, we didn’t have any of that crap. We were just famous. Left to our own resources. And it was an amazing time." he said.
Fox also told PEOPLE that being talented played a major role in fame in the 1980s.
“We used to bust our ass, our acting muscles and watch other actors and sit around with other actors and talk about acting and talk about it,” he explained. “And now you've got people who just go like, who's your sweater? What's your sweater you're wearing? And what's that dance step? And you're the most famous person in the world.”
