Note: This item is listed with an asterisk, * , which means it is owned by a private collector, and is available on consignment. The consignor will consider offers for just the stick or the jersey. There might never be a more historic Marc-Andre Fleury package available in the sports memorabilia marketplace. Here's the first jersey he ever wore for the Vegas Golden Knights, along with the stick he used in the franchise's first game. It's the stick from the first victory in Franchise History. And an autographed puck to commemorate the event. And a book that chronicled VGK's historic 2018-18 season. Marc-Andre Fleury wore this white jersey during the first two periods of the Vegas Golden Knights' first game and victory in franchise history, and used this CCM Pro stick during the same game on October 6, 2017 against the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Arena in Dallas, TX. This listing is perfect for the diehard Golden Knights fan or any hockey history enthusiast. The jersey includes the Golden Knights' Inaugural Season patch and the NHL Centennial patch. Both items are photo-matched, and this listing includes a Photographic Letter of Authenticity for each item. Fleury allowed just one goal on 46 shots in the 2-1 OT victory. He swatted away shot after shot, some stick saves with this very stick, which is photo-matched to the team's postgame celebration. The Mandalay Bay shooting that killed 60 people in October 2017 inspired the franchise and the city, creating an instant love connection between Las Vegas, the Knights and Fleury. The community was spurred on by the final words of Deryk Engelland's impassioned speech after the shooting, "We Are Vegas Strong." Fleury was the face of this team, which won the Western Conference Championship in its magical 2017-18 Inaugural Season and made the Stanley Cup Final. It was not until 2020-21 that he won his first Vezina Trophy, but the emotional Inaugural Season in Vegas will perhaps be for what he is most remembered.
