Tonight’s quartet of officials – refs Jean Hebert and Garrett Rank with lineys James Tobias and Jonny Murray – are all coming off Game 4 between the Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes. 

Hebert and Rank came together in Round 2 to officiate DAL/WPG Game 1, VGK/EDM Game 3, and WSH/CAR Game 4.

Hebert worked the opening round with Peter MacDougall, officiating NJD/CAR Game 2, TOR/OTT Game 4 (TOR L 3-4), MTL/WSH Game 5, and WPG/STL Game 6.

Rank skated with Brian Pochmara at OTT/TOR Game 1 (TOR W 6-2 – which had a combined 56 penalty minutes), VGK/MIN Game 3, DAL/COL Game 4, and FLA/TBL Game 5 (FLA W 6-3).  

 

Standby Officials: Francis Charron (#6), Matt MacPherson (#83)

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.
