Refs Chris Rooney and Graham Skilliter are working their first game of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs that includes the Oilers or Golden Knights. They continue as a pairing from the start of the playoffs, having previously combined forces at MIN/DAL Game 2, BOS/FLA Game 3, TOR/TBL Game 4, NYR/NJD Game 5, and SEA/COL Game 7 — along with FLA/TOR Game 2 and DAL/SEA Game 3 in the Second Round.
Linesmen Brad Kovachik and Matt MacPherson are working back-to-back games in Edmonton, returning from Game 3 of this series. The two officials joined forces in Round 2, where they’ve handled FLA/TOR Game 2 and VGK/EDM Game 3. During the opening round, Kovachik was partnered with Kyle Flemington, while MacPherson skated alongside Jesse Marquis.
Kovachik, who made his playoff debut in 2001, leads all active linesmen with 193 playoff appearances.
