The Vegas Golden Knights of the NHL are giving away $50 worth of gas to 800 of their fans in Nevada.
During an event titled “Knight Up, Gas Up” on Thursday, one Smith’s, a Kroger subsidiary found across seven Western states, in Skye Canyon will be giving away gift cards on a first-come, first-served basis with the help of team members starting at 8 a.m. That day, and the next, this gas station will charge 20 cents less for gas to anyone who refuels there.
This is the second time the team has hosted an event of this nature, the first occurring April 22 in celebration of the franchises’ fan appreciation week.
