The Florida Panthers let a 3-1 lead slip away, resulting in a 4-3 overtime victory for the home team. Leon Draisaitl scored the dagger while Stuart Skinner played out of his mind to earn the victory.

A massive part of the game is the special-teams battle. This battle is often dictated by the referees who are working the game. 

With that in mind, here are the referees for Friday night’s Game 2.
