In the opening round Watson was paired with Trevor Hanson, while Meier worked with Kevin Pollock. Hanson missed the cut, while Pollock will apparently get a new partner for Round 2.

Watson, with Hanson, worked the elimination games for both the Ducks (over Calgary) and Oilers (over San Jose).

Previous Games for Watson: OTT/BOS G1, MTL/NYR G2, CHI/NSH G3, ANA/CGY G4, EDM/SJS G5.

Previous Games for Meier: MIN/STL G2, EDM/SJS G3, OTT/BOS G4, WSH/TOR G6.
