Robin Lehner has nothing to hide about his thoughts on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health.

The Vegas Golden Knights goaltender has been outspoken about mental health, saying there is a stigma at times about the topic in sports.

LVSportsBiz.com explored this subject with innovative psychologist Dr. Stacy Feiner.

Here’s our interview this week:

The Golden Knights play the Arizona Coyotes in Arizona tonight. VGK fans have made the trip to Glendale, Arizona to watch VGK vs AZ. The Knights are currently in first place in the West Division and have won 10 games in a row.

No Calder Cup: The American Hockey League said due to league COVID-19 protocols, the AHL will not be able to conduct traditional Calder Cup Playoffs in 2021. The Pacific Division, however, will compete in a playoff tournament to determine a division champion following the regular season.
