Coach Robbie Ftorek, true to his character, would not reveal what was wrong with Hackett but said that the goalie "wasn't ready to go". Hackett stated afterwards that he was not suffering from any injuries so the logical guess would be that he has the flu or Ftorek is playing some mind games.
Sean Burke, Phoenix Coyotes - Burke was supposed to start Thursday's game against the Blues but came down with a nasty case of the flu in the morning. Even though he served as the backup, Burke was actually lying down in the trainer's room throughout the game.
