Breaking: Kings will honor employee murdered in Las Vegas shooting tonight.
Los Angeles Kings/NHL

One of the saddest stories we reported on this summer was that of Christiana Duarte, a young woman caught up in the horrific events that took place in Las Vegas over the week-end.

First Christiana went missing, then reports came out suggesting her friends had located her in hospital, but in the end we learned that those reports were incorrect and her life had been tragically taken from her far too early. 

Depsite being a member of the Los Angeles Kings' organization the story spread all across the hockey world and unsurprisingly it invoked both sadness and anger among fans from every part of the world. 

While it certainly won't do anything to soften the blow for Christiana's loved ones, the Los Angeles Kings have made the incredibly classy decision of honoring Christiana on their helmets tonight during the season opener. 

From the Kings:

"Our organization is overwhelmed with grief over the loss of our colleague Chrissy. We would like to thank everyone for their outreach, love and support," said Kings President Luc Robitaille. "In just a brief period of time, Chrissy had an immeasurable impact on all of us. We want to make every effort to ensure that everyone knows how special she was and the impact she already had made on so many people. We would also ask that everyone please understand and respect her family's wish for privacy at this difficult time."
