Rivera stiff armed the Vegas Golden Knights Fan to keep him out of frame.
She wrote on Twitter, "Listen, I don't give a damn what team you're rooting for - get the hell out of my face when I'm working and respect that I'm here to do my job."
Rivera ended the tweet by saying she was excited to go back to Florida for Game 3, calling the Panther fans "classy," a slight dig at the over-the-top Golden Knights fan who tried to interrupt her broadcast.
