The game between the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights took an unexpected twist as referees made a controversial decision.

With just 21.6 seconds remaining in the second period, the referees deemed it necessary to end the period early due to unruly behavior from Dallas Stars fans. Frustrated by their team's performance, fans resorted to tossing garbage, pretzels, popcorn, and even their playoff towels and wristbands onto the ice. The unsafe environment created by the fan's actions prompted the referees to take immediate action.
As the ice crew diligently cleaned up the debris, both teams left the ice. The remaining 21.6 seconds of the second period will be added to the third period, ensuring a fair continuation of the game. This rare occurrence serves as a reminder of the importance of sportsmanship and respect in the world of professional sports.
