Heineman scored a shorthanded goal on his only shot on net while adding three hits in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
The 24-year-old winger spoiled Anthony Stolarz's shutout bid with just under six minutes left in the third period, banging home a nifty feed from Bo Horvat on the counterattack. Heineman broke out with 22 goals in 2025-26 while racking up a team-high 247 hits, but his offensive surge could be tough to repeat without consistent power-play time.
