Henderson resident Hailey Dawson dropped the puck before the Golden Knights game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night at T-Mobile Arena.

Dawson dropped the puck using a custom-made 3-D printed prosthetic hand. Dawson was born with Poland syndrome, a rare disorder that left her with an underdeveloped right hand, but uses the robotic hand engineered by a team at UNLV.

Last year, she threw out the first pitch before Game 4 of the World Series in Houston.
