‘The Sabres head coach was also pleased with the way his own netminder played. “I thought he was good,” Nolan said about Hackett. “He gave us a chance. For a kid who sat on the bench for the last couple weeks, patiently waiting. We had a chance to work with him these last couple days to get him prepped for this game and it wasn’t an easy game to play. They have some good shooters on the other team so I thought he played real well.”‘
