The crew from Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final is back! Wes McCauley, Marc Joannette, Matt MacPherson, and Jonny Murray all worked the opening game of the Cup Final.

All four of tonight’s officials worked Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final between the Washington Capitals and Tampa Bay Lightning and Game 3 of the Western Conference Final between with Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights.  McCauley also worked Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final with referee Kelly Sutherland.

In Round 2, McCauley and Joannette worked VGK/SJS Game 3, TBL/BOS Game 3, and PIT/WSH Game 5.  

McCauley worked the opening round with Tim Peel for PHI/PIT Game 2, MIN/WPG Game 3, TBL/NJD Game 4, and NSH/COL Game 6. He also worked with Kelly Sutherland for BOS/TBL Game 7.  Joannette’s Round 1 assignments were CBJ/WSH Game 1, TBL/BOS Game 2, NSH/COL Game 4, and TBL/NJD Game 5 – all with Trevor Hanson.
