Wildly successful upon the genesis of his NHL career with a pair of Stanley Cups won in just his first two seasons, netminder Matt Murray also set a record along the way, securing the most playoff wins by a rookie goaltender with 22. This Penguins rookie jersey was worn by the Thunder Bay native in the first three rounds of the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs, and it’s been photo-matched. “Goalie Style” labeling along with a size 58 tag sit affixed to the collar, with NHL and Reebok crests on the front and back necklines respectively. Featuring an attractive Penguins team crest, the white V-neck has been embellished with textured tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers, with “Murray” over the nameplate in matching material. The team patch resides on the inside hem, and it divulges this garment as a “2016 Playoff Game Jersey”. A chip has also been affixed to the fight strap from JerseyTRAK, with an accompanying document listing the contests the garment saw use. A team LOA will also accompany.
A “2016” Stanley Cup Playoffs stamp has been added to the fight strap, with the equipment manager Dana Heinz also signing in black marker. Game wear includes a few dark marks encompassing the team crest, with a large puck mark visible over the upper right sleeve. There is also some pilling over the interior tail section from the fight strap. Regarding the previously mentioned photo-matches, Getty Image #531028820 from May 7th 2016 (Game Five of the Eastern Conference Second Round) has been matched to the washed-out black mark on the left shoulder area, while Getty Image #537481790 from May 20th (Game Four of the Eastern Conference Final) has been matched to the black mark on the upper right sleeve to the right of the number "30".
