Registering a total of 60 goals and 46 assists in 73 games played during the 2021-22 regular season, Auston Matthews further cemented himself as one of the best players in the National Hockey League, a view point shared by most who voted him the Hart Memorial Trophy winner for the season as the league's most valuable player. Offered here, and hailing from that 2nd Rocket Richard Trophy and Hart Memorial Trophy winning campaign, we present this photo-matched Toronto Maple Leafs jersey worn by Matthews on April 16th, 2022 on the road against the Ottawa Senators, a 5-4 OT win. Displaying an Adidas band with “58” sizing and a “Made in Canada” designation affixed to the inner collar above the screened Primegreen logo, the NHL and Adidas crests adorn the front and back necklines respectively. Decorated over the front of the blue and white garment with a Maple Leafs team crest that has "Toronto Maple Leafs" and other details embroidered into it in a 3D style, the alternate captain's "A", worn by Auston during road games during the year, is affixed over the left breast. Accented over the sleeves and verso with Matthews' number "34" in single layer blue twill numerals, "Matthews" is spelt out in matching style across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the back. Displaying a Catstitch rubberized patch at the top of the fight strap on the interior, the jersey shows good game-use for being worn in only a single game with stick marks and light board burns observed over both sleeves as well as the left shoulder along with some pilling at both elbows on the interior and a stick mark through the team crest on the front. Regarding the aforementioned photo-matches, Getty Image #1240066726 (April 16th, 2022 vs Ottawa) is matched to the stick mark at the top of his left sleeve, the board burn/stick mark over his left shoulder and the board burn through the top of the left sleeve number "3". Featuring a Leafs team inventory tag numbered “TML00000725” pressed to the inner collar, a matching LOA from the Maple Leafs will accompany.
