Ville Heinola gets first NHL point in loss
by Tyler Feeleus | Jets Correspondent | Fri, Oct 4th 9:30am EDT
Ville Heinola picked up a helper on Blake Wheelers first goal of the season on Thursday night. Heinola was solid in his NHL debut, playing on the Jets second pair with Neal Pionk. In addition to his assist Heinola added 1 SOG and 1 Hit in 18:24 of ice time.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite being just 18 years of age, Heinola has yet to look out of place through the pre-season and now through game one of the regular season. As of right now he is slotted on the Jets second pair, and is getting time on the second powerplay unit. That may change when Sami Niku is able to return to the Jets, but for now Heinola is a player to keep an eye on for fantasy players in keeper leagues. If he ends up staying with the Jets for the full season, the opportunity is certainly there for him to be fantasy relevant on a very thin blueline for the Winnipeg Jets.
