Several Stars, Knights players kneel during U.S., Canadian anthems

Four members of the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights took a knee during the U.S. and Canadian national anthems on Monday.

Vegas forward Ryan Reaves, one of the NHL's few black players, and goaltender Robin Lehner knelt with Dallas forward Tyler Seguin and Jason Dickinson before their round-robin postseason game in Edmonton. The two Vegas players flanked the Stars players as they took knee on the blue line.

Golden Knights coach Peter DeBoer said that Reaves and Lehner approached him and Vegas management in the last 48 hours, and had the team's full support.
