It’s been a while… Refs Dan O’Rourke and Frederick L’Ecuyer are seeing the Rangers and Lightning for the first time in nearly three weeks after working some games out west.
O’Rourke and L’Ecuyer are working together for the sixth time this postseason. The duo were paired up in Round 2 for NYR/CAR Game 1 (NYR L 1-2 OT), FLA/TBL Game 3 (TBL W 5-1), CGY/EDM Game 4, COL/STL Game 6. They also worked Game 2 of the Western Conference Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche.
Dan O’Rourke was paired with Brian Pochmara for most of Round 1, handling TBL/TOR Game 1 (TBL L 0-5), 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 (NYR L 3-4 OT), 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, highest in the league.
Standby Officials: Eric Furlatt (#27), Devin Berg (#87)
Series Supervisor: Kay Whitmore
