Page "Third jersey" Paragraph 102
from
Wikipedia
With the introduction of the third jersey, teams were allowed to use a completely new style for their jersey ( and in some cases, corresponding alternate socks, helmets and other uniform elements ).
Every team in the league except the Detroit Red Wings and the New Jersey Devils have introduced a third jersey at one point since the program began.
However, Detroit used a " throwback " jersey for the 2009 Winter Classic ( which was used again against the Chicago Blackhawks on April 11, 2009 ) and New Jersey used " throwback " green and red jerseys against the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 17, 2010, including a replica helmet worn by goaltender Martin Brodeur that was made to look like the original helmet he wore in his first game with NJ back in 1992.
The National Hockey League suspended the Third Jersey Program after the 2006 – 07 season because of logistics problems involving the new Rbk Edge style NHL jerseys, which were unveiled at the 2007 NHL All-Star Game.
An exception was made during the 2007 – 08 season for the AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic, where the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres wore throwback uniforms for the game.
