Matt Hackett made 33 saves but received no offense in a 2-0 loss to Montreal on Tuesday night. Hackett falls to 1-1 this season with the Sabres, but has been nothing short of fantastic in the Sabres' crease filling in for the injured Michal Neuvirth and Jhonas Enroth. He has made 68 saves on 71 shots in his two games this year.

Matthew Hackett will start Tuesday's game against Montreal, according to interim coach Ted Nolan. He made 35 stops in a 3-1 win over Edmonton on Thursday during his Sabres debut. Hackett appears to be sharing time with Nathan Lieuwen while Michal Neuvirth and Jhonas Enroth are injured.

Matthew Hackett stopped 35 of 36 shots in Buffalo's 3-1 win over Edmonton Thursday night. Hackett was called up on an emergency basis because Jhonas Enroth and Michal Neuvirth are hurt. He played a solid game and could be starting again on Sunday, if Enroth and Neuvirth are still out then.

Matthew Hackett is expected to start on Thursday. Hackett has a 3.07 GAA and .898 save percentage in 33 AHL games this season. He was called up on an emergency basis because Jhonas Enroth and Michal Neuvirth are hurt.

Matthew Hackett is up with the Buffalo Sabres on an emergency basis. The Sabres have injuries to Jhonas Enroth and Michal Neuvirth to deal with, so Hackett will travel with the team on their road trip. If Neuvirth can't play Tuesday then Hackett may end up backing up Nathan Lieuwen against Calgary.

Matthew Hackett was returned to the AHL during practice. He was up with the team as an emergency goalie exemption. Ryan Miller looks like he'll be OK to back up Jhonas Enroth on Tuesday night.

Matthew Hackett is up with the Buffalo Sabres. GM Darcy Regier said that Hackett is with the big team on an emergency goalie exemption and doesn't count against the roster. He may get the chance to suit up when the Sabres play against Pittsburgh because Ryan Miller suffered a minor lower-body problem that might keep him out of the lineup Saturday night. "I'm just here to back up tonight, I guess," said Hackett.

Matthew Hackett has signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Sabres. Hackett recorded a 2.59 GAA and .911 save percentage in 46 AHL contests with the Houston Aeros and Rochester Americans. Buffalo acquired Hackett from the Minnesota Wild in April. Although it seems increasingly unlikely that the Sabres will trade Ryan Miller before the start of the season, if they do, Hackett could serve as Jhonas Enroth's understudy.

Matthew Hackett could end up sharing time with Jhonas Enroth in Buffalo's crease next season if number one goaltender Ryan Miller is traded. "I haven't been following," Hackett said of Miller's trade situation. "Whatever happens, happens, but he's a guy that I continue to follow to watch his career." Hackett, who was acquired from Minnesota as part of the Jason Pominville deal, is a fan of Miller's and he may get the opportunity to replace him on the Sabres roster. He has been good in the minors since being acquired by Buffalo, but won't get the start in Wednesday's AHL playoff match versus the Toronto Marlies. Hackett has 13 games of NHL experience and he fared well with the Wild during the 2011-12 campaign.

Matthew Hackett has been acquired by the Buffalo Sabres. Hackett gives the Sabres a young goaltender to provide them with other options in the event that they don't sign Ryan Miller at the end of the 2013-14 campaign. Hackett has a 2.66 GAA and .907 save percentage in 43 AHL games this season.
