O’Rourke and L’Ecuyer are working together for the fifth time this postseason. The duo were paired up in Round 2 for NYR/CAR Game 1, FLA/TBL Game 3, and CGY/EDM Game 4 (EDM W 5-3), and COL/STL Game 6 (COL W 5-2).
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, 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 skated with Chris Lee in the opening round, taking the ice for PIT/NYR Game 1, TOR/TBL Game 3, CAR/BOS Game 4, and EDM/LAK Game 6 (EDM W 4-2).
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.
Standby Officials: Gord Dwyer (#19), Devin Berg (#87)
Series Supervisor: Rod Pasma
