Emil Heineman News: Nets winning tally in shootout

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

Despite recording just one shot on goal and two hits in regulation and overtime, Heineman became the hero in Tuesday's shootout win. He converted the team's fourth attempt for the only score. While he didn't find the scoresheet, the shootout tally could be a confidence boost for the 24-year-old winger. 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. He hasn't earned a point in his last six games, but Heineman remains a solid option in nearly all banger league formats while seeing top-line minutes.
