From his short time with Pittsburgh in the late-2000s, we have a Penguins helmet worn by Jarkko Ruutu in 2007-08 photo-matched to the NHL regular season and playoffs, accompanied by a second Pens helmet worn by Ryan Whitney during his final season with the club in 2008-09. Mission (Ruutu) and Easton (Whitney) models in solid black with intact strapping and interior harnesses, each sports Penguins decals affixed to each side, with “37” and a Stanley Cup decal on the reverse and lower right side respectively on the Ruutu helmet, and “19” along with a NHL decal on the reverse and lower right side respectively on the Whitney helmet. Both show moderate to heavier use with numerous marks, scratches and surface abrasions. Getty Image #79680923 (Feb 9, 2008 – regular season) has been matched to a pattern of scratch marks just over the left ear, while Getty Image #81281981 (May 29, 2008 - Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals) has been matched to the small areas of white paint loss within the Mission logo over the forehead - specifically within the extreme left and right tips.
