- Notes
- O’Rourke and Jackson have the most favorable home call percentage of remaining officials. They call 11.1% more penalties on road teams.
- They’ve worked the entire postseason together (10 games)
- Hawks/Blues Gm 3 (CHI 2-0), Hawks/Wild Gm 4 (MIN 4-2)
- Kings/Sharks Gm 7 (LAK 5-1), Kings/Ducks Gm 5 (ANA 4-3)
- In the playoffs, Chicago’s taken the third-fewest penalties (9.6 PIM/gm vs. 14.9 for the Kings) and they have the top-ranked penalty-kill at 91.7%. (The Kings are 9th at 82.8%.) The Blackhawks can better handle a penalty — good or bad call — and they take far fewer of them.
- The Hawks also get the fewest calls. Their 2.7 power plays per game is lowest among the Conference finalists. The Kings average 3.3 power plays per game.
