Referees Gord Dwyer and Francis Charron are working together for the fifth time this postseason. The duo previously handled MTL/VGK Game 1 (MTL L 1-4) and Game 2 (MTL W 3-2), as well as NYI/TBL Game 5 (TBL W 8-0) and Game 7 (TBL W 1-0). Dwyer also worked NYI/TBL Game 6 (NYI W 3-2 OT) alongside Chris Lee.
Charron handled Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, taking the ice alongside ref Dan O’Rourke for the Lightning’s 5-1 win.
In Round 1, Francis Charron was paired up with ref Jon McIsaac for STL/COL Games 1 and 2, CAR/NSH Game 3, MIN/VGK Game 5, and FLA/TBL Game 6 (TBL W 4-0). Charron worked the second round with Francois St. Laurent for BOS/NYI Games 1 & 5, Wes McCauley for TBL/CAR Game 2 (TBL W 2-1), and Francois St. Laurent for COL/VGK Game 6.
The Lightning are 5-0 this postseason under Charron; Montreal is 1-2.
Referee Gord Dwyer handled Round 2 with ref Dan O’Rourke, working BOS/NYI Game 2 and Game 6, CAR/TBL Game 3 (TBL L 2-3 OT), and COL/VGK Game 4. 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 Games 6 and 7.
