Every team has an emergency backup. And sometimes they will let the other team use them if there is a situation that requires it, since they don't travel with the team.
Happened a few days ago in a game in Colorado. He was dressed and everything (no jersey though), but he didn't end up playing.
They just sign one day contracts with the teams if they have to suit up. And it's only a few hundred bucks if I remember correctly.
