Sudsy and Mac joined forces in Round 2 for back for their second game together this postseason, having worked TBL/FLA Game 1 and NYR/CAR Game 2.
Kelly Sutherland skated with Jake Brenk in Round 1, working STL/MIN Game 1 (STL W 4-0), LAK/EDM Game 2, COL/NSH Game 3 (COL W 7-3), NYR/PIT Game 4, and TOR/TBL Game 6. He also worked PIT/NYR Game 7 with Gord Dwyer.
Jon McIsaac was paired with Eric Furlatt for WSH/FLA Game 1, PIT/NYR Game 2, CGY/DAL Game 3, and BOS/CAR Game 5. Tonight is McIsaac’s first elimination game of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Sutherland and McIsaac, combined, average 21.6 PIM/game, handing out 7.2 power plays per game. Under McIsaac, home teams get 56% of the power plays, third-highest among officials working Round 2.
