This is the first time Wes McCauley and Kelly Sutherland have been paired up this postseason. Neither has officiated a game in Bruins vs. Leafs. McCauley worked with Tim Peel for Flyers/Pens Game 2, Jets/Wild Game 3, Lightning/Devils Game 4, and Preds/Avs Game 6.  Sutherland, then with Eric Furlatt, handled Kings/Golden Knights Game 1, Jets/Wild Game 2, Preds/Avs Game 3, Ducks/Sharks Game 4, and Pens/Flyers Game 6.

Murray and Cherrey are partnered together for the first time this postsesason. Murray had been working with Trent Knorr, while Cherrey worked alongside Kiel Murchison. 

Expect this quartet to move on to Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
