The back states it came from a Thrashers jersey, but Atlanta never had those colors on their jersey and neither have the Sens. Based on the ultrafill material and the colors, it seems like a Montreal Canadiens jersey somehow found its way onto this one.
A look at the errors that the Upper Deck Trading Card company has committed in the hockey card market. Both during their exclusive NHL & NHLPA license and before.

What's red, white, and blue all over?
On this 05-06 UD Ice Dany Heatley Frozen Fabrics jersey, a red, white and blue swatch somehow made it's way onto the card:

Everyone wants to play for my Flyers...
Here's another example of the details on the back of the card not matching what's on the front. This probably lead to the omission of jersey origins on a lot of the 06-07 UD memorabilia cards. On the 05-06 UD The Cup Tomas Vokoun Limited Logos Auto Patch, it incorrectly states that the patch came from a Flyers jersey:

Wrong dynasty?
In this error, UD mistakenly labeled the origins of the Grant Fuhr jersey on this 05-06 UD The Cup Scripted Numbers Dual Auto jersey. The back of the card says the Fuhr swatch came from an Islanders jersey. While Fuhr did manage to play for a few teams during his career, the Islanders weren't one of them:
Why update it?
In this example, UD created a redemption rookie for Rob McVicar in packs of 05-06 UD Artifacts. When collectors redeemed the Canucks rookie redemption, they received this card:

One must not have been good enough. UD then inserted another Rob McVicar rookie card in their 05-06 UD Rookie Update product:

Perhaps they wanted to update the jerseys he wore that year...
Kyle Brodziak received the same double rookie treatment in the SPx and SPx Update set:

Diamonds are tough...and so is building the set
With the 06-07 UD Black Diamond set, Upper Deck incorrectly numbered the quad diamond veteran cards. They share the same number as the triple diamond Rookie Gems cards. There are two cards that share numbers for cards 148 through 168. While card numbers 169-189 do not exist in the set:

Maybe it's a Steve Moore jersey...
In this example, another jersey was mistakenly placed on the wrong card. This 05-06 UD Ultimate Todd Bertuzzi patch card is definitely taken from a Colorado Avalanche jersey:

Here's the part of the Avs jersey that the patch originates from:

Questionable 1/1 tags...
In 06-07 UD Artifacts, Upper Deck created some unique patch cards with their tag patches. The problem is, did the right tags get on the right cards? Here's two examples of questionable tags in their 1/1 cards:
This Cheechoo card features a tag that was last worn in a Sharks Nike jersey a few years before he laced them up for the first time:


The Boyes has the same thing. The Custom Crafted logo had stopped being used before Boyes made his debut with the Bruins:
