Emil Heineman Fantasy Stats

New York Islanders left wing Emil Heineman aims to make a big impact with his new team. "For this year, I'm excited to take the next step," Heineman told Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News. "It's a new team and a new system, but I want to bring my 200-foot game, help the team in any way I can, and be as useful as possible." Heineman has great potential as a fantasy producer because of his versatile game. While with the Montreal Canadiens, he finished last season with 18 points (10 goals, eight assists) and 173 hits in 62 games.

New York Islanders left wing Emil Heineman has signed a two-year, $2.2 million contract with the team. The Islanders acquired the restricted free agent from the Montreal Canadiens last week and now have him under contract for at least a couple of seasons. Islanders general manager Mathieu Darche has said that the team sees "a lot of potential" in Heineman, who had his rookie campaign in the NHL last season with the Canadiens. He finished the year with 18 points (10 goals, eight assists) and 173 hits in 62 games. Heineman is expected to start next season on the fourth line but could move up in the lineup if he performs well enough.

The New York Islanders picked up forward Emil Heineman on Friday in a deal with the Montreal Canadiens, as the team traded away defenseman Noah Dobson. The transaction also included two first-round draft picks. Incredibly, this is the third time Heineman has been traded. He was originally a Florida Panthers draft pick but was traded to Calgary in 2021 in a deal that saw the Panthers acquire Sam Bennett. A year later, Heineman landed in Montreal after the Canadiens shipped out Tyler Toffoli. Heineman had his rookie campaign in 2024-25, recording 10 goals and 18 points with 173 hits. He will likely slot into a middle-six role in New York and may see some power-play time. Five of Heineman's 18 points this season, including three goals, came with the man advantage.

According to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports, Montreal Canadiens left wing Emil Heineman (upper body) will not travel with the team on their upcoming road trip. The Canadiens will begin their three-game west-coast road trip on Sunday evening in Anaheim and will then make stops in San Jose and Los Angeles. This will give Heineman two other opportunities to return on February 8 and 9 before the international break. The 23-year-old suffered this injury in a road accident earlier this month and has missed the previous nine contests. Through his first full NHL campaign, Heineman has found the back of the net 10 times and added seven helpers across 41 games. He made just four appearances last season. Michael Pezzetta is expected to remain in the lineup for the time being.

Montreal Canadiens left wing Emil Heineman (upper body) will miss 3-4 weeks of action after being involved in a traffic accident. Ahead of Montreal's game against the Utah Hockey Club, Heineman was struck by a car while walking in downtown Salt Lake City on Monday. Heineman, who has tallied 10 goals and 17 points in 41 appearances this season, is set to miss at least 11 games. Michael Pezzetta will likely rejoin the lineup as Heineman's replacement on Tuesday. Pezzetta has averaged only 6:25 of ice time for the season and should remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.
