Hey – these guys look familiar…  Dwyer and Charron return from Game 1 of Habs/Knights, a 4-1 Vegas win.  They called it even – with three penalties per side; the Canadiens picked up an additional automatic puck-over-glass penalty.

Referee Gord Dwyer handled Round 2 with ref Dan O’Rourke, working  BOS/NYI Game 2 and Game 6, CAR/TBL Game 3, and COL/VGK Game 4 (VGK W 5-1).  In the opening round, Dwyer worked alongside TJ Luxmore for BOS/WSH Game 1 and Game 4, NYI/PIT Game 2, CAR/NSH Game 4, and VGK/MIN Game 6 (VGK L 0-3) and Game 7 (VGK W 6-2).

In Round 1, ref Francis Charron was paired up with ref Jon McIsaac for STL/COL Gm1, STL/COL Gm2, CAR/NSH Gm3, MIN/VGK Gm5 (VGK L 2-4), and FLA/TBL Gm6.  Charron worked the second round with Francois St. Laurent (BOS/NYI Game 1 & Game 5), Wes McCauley (TBL/CAR Game 2), and Francois St. Laurent (COL/VGK Game 6 – VGK W 6-3)
