Emil Heineman News: Converts penalty shot

Heineman scored a goal on a penalty shot, fired six shots on net and added four hits in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Jets.

Heineman's steady play from earlier in the season has dropped off, as he's gotten on the scoresheet in just four of the last 13 games. The 24-year-old winger is still seeing top-six minutes at even strength while playing in all situations. He's at 14 goals, 21 points, 100 shots on net, 152 hits, 31 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 46 appearances. Heineman's physical play gives him a higher floor than other players at similar levels of offense.
