Two players each from the Vegas Golden Knights and the Dallas Stars knelt on the ice in support of Black Lives Matter during the U.S. and Canadian national anthems before their game Monday night.

Dallas’ Tyler Sequin and Jason Dickinson and Ryan Reaves and Robin Lehner of the Golden Knights kneeled next to each other.

The Minnesota Wild’s Matt Dumba became the first NHL player to kneel during the U.S. national anthem Saturday, and several teams have stood together during the U.S. and Canadian anthems, with some players locking arms to show solidarity.
