Danton Heinen’s Time Is Up with the Pittsburgh Penguins

When Danton Heinen re-signed last summer, most believed he returned to the Pittsburgh Penguins on a bargain deal. Following an 18-goal season and signing for $1 million would seem like a bargain for any team in the NHL.

Unfortunately, the Penguins haven’t seen anywhere near the same level of production that Heinen provided last season.

Heinen began the season red-hot, scoring six points (3G – 3A) in the team’s opening five games. He connected well with Jeff Carter and Kasperi Kapanen, and the Penguins were winning. Since then, Heinen hasn’t scored a goal and has found himself in the press box for a handful of games.
