Heinen scored a goal on five shots versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
Scouting Report
The all-purpose forward can play either wing position and fit up and down the lineup. A big reason for his versatility is his skating ability, but he also has pretty good hands and a willingness to get his nose dirty in front of the net. Adding strength would help him win more puck battles and also earn him more consistent playing time.
Long Range Potential: Versatile scoring forward.
