Emil Heineman - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Impact 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.

Two points after long rough patch Heineman had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.

Impact Heineman notched the tying goal late in the third period to force overtime. The goal and points were his first in six games. Heineman has just three goals and one assist in his last 17 games. But the points established a new career mark -- he has 13 goals, seven assists and 84 shots in 42 games after putting up 10 goals, eight assists and 64 shots in 62 games last season. Heineman may have some value in deep formats, but only when he starts to even out the production. This 17-game patch has been rough.

Tallies goal in monster effort Heineman scored a goal, fired 10 shots on net and dished out four hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to Buffalo.

Impact Heineman played the hero late into regulation for the Isles when he tied the game on a power play with 29 seconds remaining in the period. He was incredibly shooting the puck outside his goal, as he recorded a career high 10 shots on net. With his performance Saturday, the 24-year-old winger is up to 12 goals, 18 points, 74 shots on net, 124 hits and 28 blocks through 36 games this season. After a stretch of scoreless performances to start December, Heineman has two goals in his last three games and has also tallied 14 shots on net, nine hits and six blocks in that stretch. He is not only developing into a strong player in all three zones inside the Islanders' top six, but is also developing into an elite category-coverage option for fantasy purposes, currently ranking fourth in hits across the NHL. If he can maintain his recent stretch of offense, he has value in nearly all fantasy formats moving forward.

Sets career high in goals Heineman scored a goal, placed three shots on net and recorded five blocks in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Detroit.

Impact Heineman put the Islanders out on the right foot when he found the back of the net less than five minutes into the opening period. With the twine finder, he is up to 11 goals, 17 points, 63 shots on net, 116 hits and 27 blocks through 34 games this season. His 11th goal of the season marks a new career high, and he did it in just over half the number of regular-season games he played in his rookie campaign a year ago. While his offensive output has been sparse as of late, he has remained a high-level option for category coverage in fantasy. Heineman ranks fifth among all skaters in hits, and his role on the top line gives him a case to be rostered in various types of fantasy formats moving forward.

Nets winning tally in shootout Heineman scored the winning tally in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Vegas.

Impact Despite recording just one shot on goal and two hits throughout regulation and overtime, Heineman became the hero in Tuesday's shootout win when he converted the team's fourth attempt for the only score. While he didn't find the scoresheet Tuesday, the shootout tally should help with the 24-year-old winger's confidence moving forward. He already has 16 points through 31 games this season, which is just two tallies away from matching his career high through 62 regular-season games a year ago. He also offers a premium in hits with 109 on the season, which ranks third among all skaters. While the offense has dried up, scoring no points in his last six games, Heineman remains a solid option in nearly all banger league formats as he continues to see top-line minutes.
