This road black gamer by Starter was worn by Sergei Samsonov during the 1997-98 NHL season, his rookie year in the league. Samsonov was the Bruins 1st round selection in the 1997 NHL entry draft. He burst onto the scene and won the Calder trophy as the league’s top rookie in 1997-98. After playing for 8 seasons in Boston, Sergei has since moved on to represent the Edmonton Oilers where he partook in the thrilling 2006 playoff run. He now skates for the Montreal Canadiens.
Sewn to the right breast of this sweater is the Boston Bruins 75-year anniversary patch. On the inside hem is the official team set stamp, which denotes this as Sergei’s playoff jersey. The game use consists of stick marks, board burns, fine pilling and a handful of team-sewn repairs.
