Stefan Persson was the quiet, steady Swedish defenseman who was part of all four Islanders championships. One of two Europeans on the dynasty rosters, he and Anders Kallur made the Islanders the first Cup winner with European-born players in 1980. Persson was a reliable puck-mover and defensive presence who let the stars around him shine. He played his entire NHL career with the Islanders.
