Heineman scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Heineman ended a six-game slump with the tally. The 24-year-old winger has gotten on the scoresheet in just three of 13 contests in January, though two of those instances have been multi-point efforts. He's up to 15 goals, 23 points, 117 shots on net, 170 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 53 appearances. Heineman hasn't always been consistent on offense, but he's supplying a steady stream of hits and shots in a middle-six role.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Heineman had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

Heineman scored a goal, placed three shots on net and recorded five blocks in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Heineman put the Islanders 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.

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

Heineman scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Heineman snapped a three-game slide with the tally, which set the Islanders on the comeback trail. Prior to that short slump, the winger had gotten on the scoresheet in eight of the previous nine contests. With his 10th goal of the season, the 24-year-old has matched his total from 2024-25. He's at 16 points -- two shy of his output from 62 regular-season outings last year -- while adding 50 shots on net, 89 hits and a plus-4 rating over 25 appearances.

Heineman scored a goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Heineman has scored in each of the last three games. His tally 2:05 into the game was all the Islanders could put past Scott Wedgewood. Heineman is up to nine goals, 13 points, 41 shots on net, 65 hits and a plus-6 rating through 19 appearances this season. He's worked his way into consideration in fantasy by emerging as a power winger with enough consistency on offense.

Heineman scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
Heineman opened the scoring at 7:13 of the first period with his second goal in as many games. He has gotten on the scoresheet in six of his last eight outings. The 23-year-old winger is up to eight goals, 12 points, 40 shots on net, 65 hits and a plus-6 rating through 18 appearances. Heineman has been a great fit in the Islanders' top six and has fantasy upside as an emerging power forward.

Heineman scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Heineman has two goals and three assists over his last seven outings. He's had a couple of stretches of consistent offense this season while doing a good job to limit his dry spells. For the year, the 23-year-old winger is up to seven goals, 11 points, 39 shots on net, 62 hits and a plus-5 rating over 17 appearances. He had just 18 points in 62 regular-season outings in 2024-25, but a top-six role with the Islanders, and the corresponding increase in ice time, has done wonders for the second-year forward's offense.
