Referees Garrett Rank and Jean Hebert have been paired up throughout the playoffs, working NYI/CAR Game 1, TOR/BOS Game 2, FLA/TBL Game 4, and VGK/DAL Game 5 (DAL W 3-2) in the opening round.  They’ve also officiated BOS/FLA Game 2 and NYR/CAR Game 4 in Round 2. 

Rank and Hebert handed out 12 misconduct penalties at Bruins/Panthers Game 2.  Referee Garrett Rank also famously issued misconduct penalties to “everybody on the ice” earlier this season.

Number in orange/parentheses indicated referee’s rank among active officials.

* Penalty Differential represents the absolute value of the variance of penalty calls by team per game. If Team A takes two more penalties (or two fewer) than Team B, this is a 2.  Lower numbers indicate less variance between total penalties in a game – that is, a closer number of calls for both teams.
