* Assignments subject to change, particularly between standby/starting officials in a Game 7, when the NHL occasionally shakes up the official pairings. We’re going with O’Rourke/Watson, though there’s a chance Lee (O’Rourke’s partner through the first two rounds) may get the start.
Nashville Predators at San Jose Sharks – 9:00 EDT
