There was something different about Antti Niemi on Tuesday.
The Dallas Stars goaltender didn't have new pads or a new mask, but something still wasn't quite right. His name was spelled wrong on his jersey.
Niemi took to the ice for warmups at First Niagra Center for his team's tilt against the Buffalo Sabres with his jersey reading "Nieme."

Luckily for Niemi, a jersey with the proper spelling was retrieved before game time.
