The Vegas Golden Knights celebrated Dia de los Muertos on Saturday, but not just with their jerseys.
Defenseman Jon Merrill and forwards Cody Eakin and Jonathan Marchessault dove in to the celebration, face first.
The trio had their faces painted in honor of the Mexican holiday and the results were impressive.
The team of course wore themed jerseys and auctioned them off after warmups.
The team also had a Vegas-style party outside complete with Mariachi band, showgirls and the dance team, also with painted faces.
The Los Angeles Kings also went all out for the holiday before a game against the Chicago Blackhawks.
On Friday night, the Anaheim Ducks also celebrated the holiday at Honda Center.
