Latest news
Heinen was placed on waivers by the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Heinen hasn't posted a point with the Blue Jackets this season, but he has earned nine blocked shots and eight hits while averaging 10:10 of ice time in 10 appearances. He'll likely head to AHL Cleveland if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Isac Lundestrom (Achilles) has resumed skating and appears to be close to returning to action.

Heinen signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.
Heinen made 46 regular-season appearances between Pittsburgh and Columbus last year, recording six goals, six assists, 54 hits, 24 blocked shots and 16 PIM while averaging 11:20 of ice time. He'll remain with the Blue Jackets for another year and should have a chance to compete for a spot on the NHL roster while on his two-way contract.
