Darren Dreger noted on NBCSN tonight that members of the Vegas Golden Knights organization were staying at a nearby hotel when the New York City terrorist attack took place.
Dreger described the situation, as you can see in the video above, revealing that staff members even witnessed some of the events.
(You can read more about the attacks at NBC News.)
As the AP reports, the Golden Knights were delayed on their way to Madison Square Garden before their eventual loss to the New York Rangers on Tuesday. Before that contest, the Rangers held a moment of silence at MSG:
