The 2012–13 season was a significant one for both Evgeni Nabokov and the New York Islanders. Despite the season being shortened due to a lockout, Nabokov played a pivotal role in leading the Islanders to their first playoff appearance since 2007. His performance between the pipes was instrumental in the team's success, and this mask was a key part of his gear during that memorable season.
