Driver's winner surprises Laszlo
Driver marked his first start of the season by sealing the Jambos' first Scottish Premier League victory of the campaign at Tynecastle.
Laszlo said of Driver's goal on his weaker right foot: "Last season, he scored a couple of goals with his head.
"His right leg, he used only to walk. Now he's scored with the right. This is a big development."
Laszlo added of winger Driver, who had made only one substitute appearance this term due to heel and thigh injuries: "It was also very important for Driver to come back in the team."
Hearts went into Tuesday night's game - which was rearranged from Saturday after a lorry fire caused chaos on the M8 - having taken just one point from their opening three SPL outings.
"This was a very important three points, to get the confidence back also," said Laszlo, whose was nevertheless unhappy with the number of chances missed by his side tonight.
"Today, we had the opportunity to score more goals.
"We have the same situation from last season that we create a lot of chances, but goalscoring, this is at the moment difficult."
Driver's opposite wing Suso Santana was the chief culprit, the Spaniard dazzling in the build-up but found wanting in the final third.
Laszlo refused to be too critical, saying: "I must give time for this guy maybe - but you've seen he does what he can.
"He can bring a lot of danger at the front."
Laszlo revealed he experimented with a new shape tonight, which saw Suso, Driver, Gary Glen and David Obua all interchange positions in the final third.
"We haven't ever played this shape with so many attacking people, said Laszlo, who is confident Hearts can now push for a place in the top six.
"If we come together step by step and we don't have too many injuries, we can take our position back in the table."
Opposite number Jim Jefferies was just as surprised as Laszlo at the manner of Driver's winner.
"I don't think he's renowned for 20-yard strikes with his right foot but he's hit it sweet as a nut," said Jefferies, whose side were arguably on top when they fell behind to a breakaway goal.
"We've just felt, 'They're not even causing us any problems; there's nothing happening here and we're 1-0 down'."
Like Hearts, Killie created and wasted a succession of opportunities through David Fernandez, Connor Sammon, Craig Bryson, Kevin Kyle, Frazer Wright and Danny Invincibile.
Jefferies added: "Right on half-time, we get the best chance of the half: Fernandez with a header from the six-yard box and nobody near him.
"And then Bryson's had a shot which he's caught sweet enough but hit the post off the goalie I think."
Jefferies hailed debutant goalkeeper Mark Brown - who is on loan from Celtic - for what was a stunning save from a Suso header.
"You've got to say Suso should have put the game out (of reach) but I think that's the best save of the season I've seen so far," said Jefferies.
"We made some really good chances second half. We kept pushing forward as the half went on."
