Paul Bissonnette skated in a career high 28 games in 2012-2013 and 39 games in 2013-2014 for the Phoenix Coyotes
He had 0 goals and 6 assists with 36 penalty minutes in 2012-2013, and 2 goals and 6 assists with 53 penalty minutes in 2013-2014
Bissonnette played in 202 NHL games with 187 of those games coming with the Phoenix Coyotes
Biz fought 52 times while in the league with 48 of those also coming with the Yotes
His 48 fights in a Coyotes sweater cements him as the enforcer with the most fights in franchise history, edging out Andrei Nazarov (43) and Dan Carcillo (41)
He has 22 career points (7 goals, 15 assists) with all but his very first point coming in a Coyotes sweater
The Phoenix Coyotes wore their black alternate jerseys in 6 games from 1/28/13 to 4/15/13 during the 2012-2013 season
The following season, 2013-2014, they wore their black alternate jerseys in 8 games from 10/15/13 to 2/4/14
Biz wore this jersey in 2 of the 6 games in 2012-2013, and in all 8 games in 2013-2014 for a total of 10 games across the two seasons
He had no goals and no assists and 29 penalty minutes in those 10 games, including a fight versus Tim Jackman on 2/18/13 and game misconducts on 1/7/14 and 1/28/14
Bissonnette’s gamer has minimal wear thanks to his limited ice time in those 10 games; he played just 12:34 time on ice in 2012-2013 and 42:12 time on ice in 2013-2014 in the sweater which is the equivalent of about three games worth of ice time for your average first line forward
There is a decent board burn in the elbow of the right sleeve and some pilling and/or pulls in the sleeve areas and above the crest
The left sleeve has loose threading hanging down from the wrist area which was presumably caused by some scuffle here or there
This jersey’s collar has some loose threading and the left side of the “V” of the collar has either been loosened or pulled apart so that the tan piping shows in an area where it should not be
Biz’s jersey is also notable because it is the rare “running Yote” alternate (or indeed, nearly any Coyotes gamer from that era) that has no loose threading on the lettering or numbering
The sleeve numbers on the left sleeve have some very unique and too thick stitching, but I’ve been unable to photomatch it
