The Story:

Espen Knutsen was acquired from Hartford on Oct, 1996, sign a 1 year contract with the Ducks on July 15, 1997.

Played 19 games, with 3 goals - 0 assist and 6 PIM. that season.

Played his first ever regular season NHL game on Oct 3 in Japan vs Canucks.

This is the jersey from that game.

Got his first NHL goal on Oct. 19, was assigned to Cinncinnati Nov. 20.

See a scan of Knutsen in what we belive is this jersey with out the patch from pr. season.

The Jersey:

Game One patch on front.

Front has about a dozen or so stick and puck marks, rights sleeve 2 small once,

left sleeve has one  as well, alonge with 1 un-repaird slice.

Has good inside wear, so we belive that this is also the #47 road he used during pr.season.

We have pictures of him with that style jersey without the patch.

Has the Game One set stamp on back inside hem.
