Notes
Joannette and Pollock have worked the entire postseason together (11 games)
No officiating duo has called fewer penalties per game (3.8 minors/gm combined)
They worked Hawks/Kings Game 1, which included a controversial no-goal call when Jonathan Toews bowled over Jonathan Quick in the crease. Only 4 penalties – two per side – were called in that game.
Ref impact relates to PP and PK effectiveness. Rangers PK is perfect in last 7 games and 28-for-29 (96.6%) over last 10
Past Playoff Games for Joannette/Pollock:
Rangers (2-0): Game 6 vs. Pens (W 3-1), Game 7 vs. Pens (W 2-1)
Canadiens (1-0): Game 1 vs. Bruins (W 4-3 OT)
