Kozari and Lee are reunited tonight; the pair worked Game 7 between the Bruins and Hurricanes and Game 1 of Blues/Avalanche in Round 2, which saw just four penalties called. This is the first time either official has seen the Calgary Flames this postseason.
Steve Kozari worked the opening round with Kyle Rehman, taking the ice for LAK/EDM Game 1 (EDM L 3-4), NSH/COL Game 2, NYR/PIT Game 3, FLA/WSH Game 4, and MIN/STL Game 6.
Chris Lee handled PIT/NYR Game 1, TOR/TBL Game 3, CAR/BOS Game 4, EDM/LAK Game 6 (EDM W 4-2), all with referee Frederick L’Ecuyer.
Kozari and Lee, combined, average 17.5 PIM/game, handing out 7.5 power plays per game. Lee has whistled the fewest penalties of the playoffs, with an average of 16 PIM in the games he’s worked. Both hand out more power plays to the home team, with Kozari (0.7 more per game) and Lee (0.8 more per game). Home teams get 54.9% of the power plays under Kozari and Lee.
