Montreal Canadiens fans unfortunately know referee Chris Lee all too well. There are all kinds of theories, backed by numbers, that seem to indicate the Habs have always had a very hard time winning hockey games when Chris Lee is one of the officials in charge.

Anyway, good news!

So it will officially be without Chris Lee that Martin St-Louis' squad will face the Washington Capitals.
A history between Chris Lee and the Montreal Canadiens
Let's recall the rather telling statistics that were compiled by a fan on social media.
Even Renaud Lavoie pointed it out during a game in March, imagine that!
He was referring to Chris Lee.
Anyway, he won't be officiating in the playoffs, so that's definitely worth noting.
