With Game 4 set to start in a few hours, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers now know who will be officiating tonight's game. Per Scouting the Refs, tonight's Game 4 between the Leafs and Panthers will be called by the likes of Gord Dwyer, Jon McIsaac, Devin Berg, and Michel Cormier with the series on the line.
The referees tonight will be Dwyer and McIsaac, who have been paired up 6 times already this post-season, handling the Panthers Game 2 victory against the Boston Bruins, but not having officiated any games for the Leafs up to this point. Nevertheless, Dwyer has handled 1,198 regular season games and 111 playoff games, while McIsaac has 489 regular season games under his belt alongside 32 post-season games.

The linesmen for this game will be Berg and Cormier, who have been paired up this entire post-season, including a game that was refereed by Dwyer and McIsaac - Game 3 between the Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils.
Berg has 524 regular season games under his belt, including 74 this season. He has also been apart of 57 games in the post-season, including 7 this year.
