The first Finnish goaltender to win the Stanley Cup, Antti Niemi has appeared for a number of NHL clubs throughout his career while also representing Finland at the 2014 Winter Olympics. This photo-matched Canadiens Set 3 road jersey was worn by Niemi in 2017-18, from March 2, 2018, to April 7, 2018. An Adidas band with “58G” sizing appears along the inner collar, with NHL and Adidas crests on the front and back necklines respectively. Styled with the famous and sacred CH team crest, the white V-neck has been accented with tri-colour tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers, with “Niemi” across the affixed nameplate in single blue twill. Exhibiting heavy game use, there are numerous dark puck marks over the front and sleeves, with considerable red paint transfer over the lower right sleeve. Getty Image #943405432 (April 5, 2018 vs Detroit) has been matched to a number of black marks and their specific placement over the lower right sleeve, as well as to the large section of red paint transfer near the right elbow. The image is also matched to the dark marks over the right sleeve's number "3". Next, Getty Image #943405792 (April 4, 2018 vs Detroit) has been matched to the dark mark visible to the left of the team crest as well as to it's specific shape, and to the faint mark visible directly to the left of the team crest, while Getty Image #941563174 (March 31, 2018 vs Pittsburgh) has been matched to a number of dark marks visible to the left of the team crest and over the upper left sleeve, and more specifically to their placement and shape. Obtained directly from the Montreal Canadiens, the team patch (A05748) sits on the inside hem, while a hologram numbered “GU22253” from the Canadiens has been affixed to the reverse “7”, with a team LOA to accompany matching both numbers.
