The San Jose Sharks are winless in their last nine (0-8-1) under referee Frederick L’Ecuyer, going back three seasons.
Games: PS (Preseason); RS (Regular Season); PO (Playoffs)
Stats/Numbers: ’24-25 avg. (’24-25 rank) | ’23-24 avg. (’23-24 rank)
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.
We’ve got new rules, new refs, promoted officials, and an updated pronunciation guide for 2024-25.
Here is the NHL’s officating roster for the 2024-25 season:
