Tyler Seguin -- one of the NHL's biggest stars -- knelt for the national anthem before Dallas' game against Las Vegas on Monday ... joining three others on the ice for the protest.
The two Dallas players were flanked by the two Golden Knights at one of the ice's blue lines -- and the quartet stayed kneeling for the Canadian national anthem as well.
After the game, all four players said they did it for one reason -- to raise awareness for social injustice. "Everyone should have the same chance in society. Everyone should be treated the same," Lehner said."At the end of the day, I love America. But, there are a bunch of things that need to be corrected, and it's just about willingness to do something about it."Players and coaches from both sides said after the demonstration they supported the four players' decisions.
