WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

• Selected by Minnesota Wild in third round (77th overall) of National Hockey League entry draft, June 27, 2009.

ACCOLADES:

• Played for Western Conference All Stars (AHL), January 30, 2012.

INJURIES:

FIRSTS:

• Matt made his National Hockey League debut on December 6, 2011, at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. With Niklas Backstrom out with a groin injury, Hackett was backing up Josh Harding when Harding left just 71 seconds into the game with a head injury. Hackett entered the game, and stopped all 34 San Jose shots he faced in a 2-1 Minnesota win. "Really impressive," Wild coach Mike Yeo said of Hackett, who played for him last season at Houston. "Not an easy team to go in and play your first game against, not an easy situation to go in and play your first game. But the way he handled it, and they threw everything at the net. They jammed him at the net, and he was in control all night."

DID YOU KNOW?

• Matt's uncle, Jeff Hackett, was a National Hockey League netminder for fifteen seasons. "I talk to him a lot," Hackett said of his uncle after his NHL debut. "He's helped me a lot growing up. Every summer me and him work out a lot. He teaches me so much of the off-ice and on-ice, it's unbelievable."
