Referees Pierre Lambert and Brandon Blandina are paired up for the second time this season; they worked 3 games together last season. Linespersons Andrew Smith and Jeremy Faucher are together for the first time this season after 1 appearance together last year.
Smith left last night’s Flames/Canucks game due to injury. Since he’s back in the lineup tonight, it looks like he’s okay.

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 also got new rules, new refs, promoted officials, and an updated pronunciation guide for 2026-27.
