Craig Anderson was a backup on the Boston Bruins for six games in 2006 - he never actually appeared in a game with Boston.

J.P. Parise in a Cleveland Barons uniform was kind of unusual, though he looked good in anything (as does his son Zach) 
In the 90's, some players would suit up for an IHL team while holding out with their NHL clubs. Some off the top of my head:
Curtis Joseph on the Las Vegas Thunder.
Nikolai Khabibulin on the Long Beach Ice Dogs.
Peter Bondra on the Detroit Vipers.
Sean Burke on the San Diego Gulls.

I have absolutely no recollection of Arturs Irbe ever returning to the Stars.
He never did return to them. He only had one stint in Dallas.

I believe it's in reference to Irbe being drafted by the Minnesota North Stars. He obviously never played for them, going to San Jose in that convoluted expansion draft in 1991.
He did win 17 of his 35 starts in Dallas, but was unable to unseat Andy Moog who actually had an All-Star season in 97
In light of his death the other day, Bobby Schmautz is pictured here in an Oilers uniform. Likely most notable for his time with the Bruins (though I grew up knowing him as an early Canuck), he played 29 games for Edmonton during the 1979-80 season.
He also played 20 games for the Rockies that year, but I couldn't find a decent photo to add here.

Ron Hextall is obviously a Flyer-lifer, and while I have no problem remembering his brief period with Quebec, his stint with the Islanders just seems... wrong.

Not exactly a "uniform" per se, but here's Maurice Richard in 1972, wearing the WHA Nordiques' shirt:
Here's a quote from 'Canada Coin News's' website:
Marius Fortier, one of the Nordiques’ six founders, offered Richard a job as the team’s head coach—a dream position for Richard, who quickly accepted the position; however, after losing his first game 2-0 on the road against the Cleveland Crusaders, Richard handed in his resignation.
“It’s that simple,” he told Fortier. “I’ll die behind the bench, and I love life too much to do that.”
Fortier convinced him to stay for another game while he found a replacement, but Richard was unable to follow the tempo during his team’s second game, this at home against the Alberta Oilers. Defenceman Jean-Claude Tremblay managed the line changes and team strategy.
On Oct. 14, 1972, La Presse reported that during the game against Alberta, which was losing to the Nordiques after a “brilliant performance,” Richard was “nervous, shaking occasionally like a leaf.”
Richard quit that day and was replaced by Maurice Filion.

I think he means that he returned to the club that drafted him since Stars is the North Stars franchise and they drafted Irbe.

Curtis Joseph on the Las Vegas Thunder.
Nikolai Khabibulin on the Long Beach Ice Dogs.
Peter Bondra on the Detroit Vipers.
Sean Burke on the San Diego Gulls.
Believe this was during the 95 strike.

Nah Burke played for the Gulls in 92, Khabibulin played in IHL during the 97 season iirc. Bondra signed with the Vipers at the beginning of the 96 season. Joseph played in IHL while being an unsigned RFA (I know I know UFA group something) by the Oilers

As others said in this thread. The Stars and North Stars are the same team to me.

That guy looks extremely old, but according to Eliteprospects, he should be around 37 at the time of the picture being taken. Did people age faster back then?
