Dwyer and Rooney have been paired up for the entire postseason.  Together, they’ve worked:
– Round 1 – NJD/TBL Game 1, PIT/PHI Game 3, BOS/TOR Game 4, CBJ/WSH Game 5
– Round 2 – WPG/NSH Game 1, PIT/WSH Game 2, SJS/VGK Game 5
– Round 3 – VGK/WPG Game 2

Murphy and Cormier have also been a steady pairing on lines for the entire postseason.

All four of tonight’s officials handled Game 2 between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Winnipeg Jets.  Interesting to see the NHL keeping the quartets together in the Conference Finals.
