SAN JOSE – The potential exists for an intriguing goalie matchup on Saturday afternoon in Dallas when the Sharks visit the Stars.
Sharks coach Pete DeBoer wasn’t saying who would start for San Jose, though, while Dallas coach Lindy Ruff doesn’t like divulging his starter in advance. We’re just going to have to wait and see if Antti Niemi gets the call against his former team, and whether his good buddy Alex Stalock starts on the other end of the rink.
“It would be fun, obviously,” Stalock said of the possibility.
Niemi spent the previous five seasons in San Jose, making the playoffs for the first four of those before the Sharks flamed out last April.
