How’d you like the officiating in Game 5?  Three of the four officials – referees Dan O’Halloran and Brad Meier, along with linesman Greg Devorski – are returning from Saturday’s game. Linesman Derek Amell joins the trio for tonight’s game.

O’Halloran and Meier were paired up for Round 2, where they worked Caps/Pens Game 1, Bruins/Lightning Game 1, Golden Knights/Sharks Game 4, and Jets/Predators Game 5, a 6-2 Winnipeg win.  O’Halloran worked the first round with referee Kyle Rehman, officiating Leafs/Bruins Game 1, Golden Knights/Kings Game 3, Capitals/Blue Jackets Game 3, and Flyers/Penguins Game 5. Meier was paired with Ian Walsh for Avs/Preds Game 1, Devils/Lightning Game 2, Bruins/Leafs Game 3, and Penguins/Flyers Game 4. 

The Winnipeg Jets are a perfect 8-0 over the past two seasons when referee Dan O’Halloran is officiating — 9-0 if you include playoff games.
