Pavel Francouz may have just laid claim to the best mask in the NHL.
The Colorado Avalanche goaltender has some beautiful new headgear - presumably in conjunction with the league's Reverse Retro jerseys - that designer Bohumil Koral shared Sunday on Instagram.
It features Quebec Nordiques icons Anton, Marian, and Peter Stastny, as well as Avalanche legends Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg. The mask is also accented by the Nordiques logo and a fleur-de-lis on both sides.
Here it is in all its glory. Swipe right to view a gallery that shows Sakic and Forsberg depicted on the right side.
The Avalanche revealed arguably the best Reverse Retro jersey in November when the league unveiled all 31 teams' nostalgic duds.
