Tomorrow evening, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are set to get underway as the Red Wings take on the Lightning, while the Blues square up against the Blackhawks, and the Penguins face-off against the Rangers. What a time more fitting, then, to take a look at the best selling NHL sweaters of the 2015-16 season.
Fitting…ha! Get it? Because they come in all different sizes…?
Okay, sorry for being an idiot. Without further ado, here are the ten best selling NHL jerseys over the last year, and yep, the defending Stanley Cup champs occupy both the No. 1 and 2 spots.

No surprise to see Kane up there for another consecutive year. I mean, how could you not like a player of his caliber that gets down to Buffett like this!?
Even rookie sensation Connor McDavid found a way to sneak in there, too. Probably because the Oilers unis are all-around sick – especially the third orange colorway. Oh, and the fact that McDavid scores goals like this that make you shout “SWEET DEKES ALMIGHTY!” might have something to do with it as well.
Did your team make the cut? If not, better luck next year…
