“There’s Kreider! He’s coming.”
The woman with the Rangers Chris Kreider sweater had a religious moment in front of T-Mobile Arena, where the NHL is staging its All-Star Game.

For the hometown Golden Knights, Mark Stone, Alex Pietrangelo and Jonathan Marchessault are here and their Pacific Division team will be coach by VGK head coach Pete DeBoer.
