The Buffalo Sabres pulled out all the stops for Military Appreciation Night.
U.S. Army 1st Lieutenant Sean Lucas descended from the rafters to conduct the ceremonial faceoff Friday night before the Sabres hosted the New Jersey Devils.
Friday is Veterans Day in the United States and Remembrance Day in Canada.
Here's another look at the impressive maneuver.
