Stars apologize to Golden Knights, NHL after fans litter ice with debris during shutout loss

Dallas Stars president and CEO Brad Alberts apologized to the NHL and the Vegas Golden Knights after their fans threw debris at opposing players during a 4-0 Game 3 loss in the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday.

With their team down 4-0 late in the second period, Dallas fans vented their displeasure by throwing debris on the ice.

Referees had the players leave the ice for the locker rooms with 21.6 seconds remaining in the period after Dallas center Max Domi was assessed a 10-minute misconduct penalty.
