Joel Lorenzi: Asked Mark Daigneault if he’s bracing for tonight’s physicality (what’s allowed, what’s not) to change: “I know that’s been a story to this point, and teams use the media to try to gain an edge in the playoffs. But the way we’re looking at it is these are the best officials in the league. If they’re influenced by that, then there’s a problem. They shouldn’t be working the game. We trust that they’re going to go out there call the game fairly and consistently.“
