Heinola was assigned to AHL Henderson on Sunday.
The Golden Knights recalled Viliam Kmec from the minors in a corresponding move. Heinola has one assist, one shot on net and two blocked shots in two NHL appearances with Vegas in 2026-27. He also has one goal and five points in five AHL outings this campaign.

Heinola was called up from AHL Henderson on Thursday.
Heinola was summoned from the minors on two other occasions in October, but he hasn't yet made his season debut for the Golden Knights. However, the 25-year-old has excelled in the minors with a goal and five points in five appearances with Henderson in 2026-27.

Heinola was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Saturday.
Heinola continues to bounce between leagues as the Golden Knights deal with the absence of Parker Wotherspoon (upper body). Heinola's demotion indicates there are no concerns for Vegas on the blue line ahead of Saturday's game versus the Penguins.

Heinola was recalled from AHL Henderson on Thursday.
Heinola racked up three assists during a quick stop down in the minors, but he will link back up with the Golden Knights ahead of Thursday's clash with the Flames. Even with his promotion, Heinola will likely serve as a healthy scratch rather than replacing Dylan Coghlan in the lineup.

Heinola logged three assists in AHL Henderson's 4-0 win over Coachella Valley on Wednesday.
Heinola has four points over four AHL games this season. He received a call-up Sunday but didn't get into a game with the Golden Knights. Still, it looks like he'll be an option to join the big club when they're in need of an extra defenseman. That could happen at any point while Parker Wotherspoon (upper body) is out on a week-to-week basis, especially if another blueliner gets injured as well.

Heinola was assigned to AHL Henderson on Wednesday.
Heinola was called up by the Golden Knights over the weekend, but he didn't appear in any games during his time with the NHL club. Across three regular-season appearances in the AHL this year, he's recorded a goal and four PIM, and he should have more consistent opportunities for playing time in the minors.
