The pairing of Kyle Rehman and Jean Hebert continues, having worked together since the start of the playoffs. This duo previously handled LAK/EDM Game 2, COL/SEA  Game 3, VGK/WPG Game 4, TBL/TOR Game 5, and NJD/NYR Game 6 (NJD L 2-5) in Round 1, as well as SEA/COL Game 1 in the Second Round.  This is their first time seeing the Hurricanes this postseason.
