Drafted by the Montreal Canadiens with the 37th overall pick at the 1979 NHL Entry Draft, Mats Naslund would suit up with both Timra IK and Brynas IF in his native Sweden from the mid-1970s to early-1980s, finally making his NHL debut during the 1982-83 season and going on to play a total of 651 games in the National Hockey League over the course of his career. Helping the Habs to a Stanley Cup championship in 1986, Naslund would be named to a quartet of NHL All-Star Games over the course of his career and win a pair of Olympic medals with Sweden, including a gold in 1994. Named "Swedish Player of the Year" in 1980, a member of the esteemed "Triple Gold Club" and inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2005, offered here is this Boston Bruins jersey worn by Naslund during the 1995 Stanley Cup Playoffs, his last few games in the NHL before retiring. Made by CCM, both CCM and size "52" labels are affixed to the inner collar while both the NHL shield and CCM logos are embroidered into the reverse hem. Having had his number "26" penned to the aforementioned CCM label, the front of the jersey is decorated with a familiar Bruins team crest in layered tackle twill while matching alternate logo patches appear atop of both shoulders. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Naslund's number "26" in dual layer black-over-yellow tackle twill numerals, "Naslund" is spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Sporting a Custom Crafted stamp inside the reverse hem that denotes the jersey as being an "Official Boston Bruins Playoff Set 1994-95 Season" example, a final season at Boston Garden stamp is found alongside it which has had a "06" penned in it in black marker ink. Retaining its fight strap on the interior, the jersey shows game-wear via stick marks over the front, reverse and both sleeves as well as board burns over both sleeves, the jersey also displays with numerous adhesive stains throughout its entirety from being stuck inside a frame at one point. Hailing from Naslund's personal collection, the jersey comes accompanied by his signed LOA.
