Heinen recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Heinen has collected two goals and two assists over his last five contests. The Canucks are getting more offense out of their depth players than their stars lately, with Heinen being a prime example of that, though the 29-year-old was in a deep rut prior to his more recent success. He's up to 14 points, 30 shots on net, 37 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 32 appearances this season, mainly as a bottom-six option.

Rotowire

Canucks' Danton Heinen: Nabs helper in team debut
Rotowire
Heinen produced a power-play assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.
Heinen helped out on a Daniel Sprong tally in the first period. The 29-year-old Heinen was listed on the Canucks' top line, but he saw just 14:00 of ice time in this contest.
