MONTREAL - You couldn't tell a ghost story much scarier than this one.
As the Stars try to navigate a six-game road trip that could play a huge role in whether they return to the playoffs or not, they are being haunted by spirits from the past.
Spirits of every kind.
Antti Niemi was the specter Tuesday in a 4-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. The goalie who was bought out by the Stars last summer came up with 36 saves. So in essence, the Stars paid Niemi $1.5 million to beat them.
Oh yeah, and they owe him another $1.
