O’Rourke and L’Ecuyer are working together for the second time this postseason, having officiated NYR/CAR Game 1 in the second round.
Dan O’Rourke was paired with Brian Pochmara for most of Round 1, handling TBL/TOR Game 1, BOS/CAR Game 2, FLA/WSH Game 3 (FLA L 1-6), STL/MIN Game 4, and CGY/DAL Game 6. He worked back-to-back games in that series, but with a new partner – Francois St. Laurent – for DAL/CGY Game 7.
Frederick L’Ecuyer was skated with Chris Lee, who’s also working Round 2 but alongside Steve Kozari. L’Ecuyer and Lee worked PIT/NYR Game 1, TOR/TBL Game 3 (TBL L 2-5), CAR/BOS Game 4, and EDM/LAK Game 6.
This will be an interesting mix. O’Rourke called the most penalty minutes in Round 1 (40.2 PIM/gm) while L’Ecuyer games saw the fewest (16.0 PIM/gm). Perhaps that’s part of the reason the NHL split up the Lee/L’Ecuyer pairing. Power plays are a bit more even, with the two combining for 7.9 power plays per game, on average.
O’Rourke had a heavy lean towards home teams, handing 61.7% of power plays to the home teams in Round 1, highest in the league.

Referees Chris Rooney and Jean Hebert working their third game of the playoffs together; this duo worked LAK/EDM Game 7 and, in Round 2, TBL/FLA Game 2.
Rooney was previously paired with Graham Skilliter for STL/MIN Game 2, EDM/LAK Game 3, CGY/DAL Game 4, and WSH/FLA Game 5.
Hebert skated alongside ref Trevor Hanson, working NSH/COL Game 1, DAL/CGY Game 2, EDM/LAK Game 4, TBL/TOR Game 5 (TBL L 3-4), and CAR/BOS Game 6 (CAR L 2-5).
Rooney and Hebert combined to average 22.5 PIM per game in Round 1. Both were on the low end of power plays awarded, combining for 6.7 power plays per game — second among Round 2 ref pairings only to Wes McCauley/Eric Furlatt at 6.4. This duo called it tighter than the league average, with 51% of power plays awarded to the home team.

Referees Gord Dwyer and Francois St. Laurent are keeping things going with their seventh playoff game together – separated only for a pair of Game 7s in the opening round.
Dwyer and St. Laurent worked Round 1 together, handling TBL/TOR Game 2, CAR/BOS Game 3, MIN/STL Game 4, LAK/EDM Game 5 (EDM L 4-5), and FLA/WSH Game 6. The duo was reunited in Round 2 for STL/COL Game 2.
Dwyer handled PIT/NYR Game 7 with Kelly Sutherland, while St. Laurent worked DAL/CGY Game 7 (CGY W 3-2) with Dan O’Rourke.
Dwyer and St. Laurent, combined, average 20.2 PIM per game. The duo averages 8.3 power plays per game, led by Dwyer’s playoff-high 8.7 power plays per game.
Both these officials have given more power plays to the road teams. They’re the only two officials in Round 2 who have handed out more PPs (52.5%) to the visitors.
