Sutherland and Dwyer are working together for the first time this postseason. Dwyer worked the Cup Finals in 2019 and 2021; Sutherland has made eight trips.
Kelly Sutherland was previously paired with Jake Brenk for Blues/Wild Game 1, Kings/Oilers Game 2, Avs/Preds Game 3, Rangers/Pens Game 4 (PIT W 7-2), and Leafs/Lightning Game 6. That Game 4 between Pittsburgh and New York saw four penalties called – three against the Rangers.
Gord Dwyer skated alongside Francois St. Laurent for Lightning/Leafs Game 2, Hurricanes/Bruins Game 3, Wild/Blues Game 4, Kings/Oilers Game 5, and Panthers/Capitals Game 6.
This season, the Penguins are 2-2 in games officiated by Sutherland and 2-1 when Dwyer’s working. The Rangers are 3-2 under Sutherland and 2-1 under Dwyer.
