Dillon Heatherington News

Heatherington failed to pick up a point in his three-game stint with Ottawa and will head back to Belleville (AHL) where he was reassigned Friday. He heads back to Belleville, where he captains the team and had two goals, three assists, and 14 PIMs across 19 games prior to his promotion.

Heatherington will be recalled for the second time this season after a short one-game showing in his previous callup where he failed to pick up a point. In Belleville (AHL), he was their captain and had two goals, five points and 14 PIMs in 19 games played.

Dillon Heatherington will draw into Ottawa's lineup for the first time Thursday after it was announced Erik Brannstrom would miss the game with a leg injury. Heatherington will be hoping to add to the two assists he has collected over 20 career NHL games across three seasons.

Heatherington had two goals, five assists and 14 PIMs with Belleville (AHL) prior to his callup to the Senators Tuesday. The 27-year-old has previously played in 20 NHL games across three seasons, picking up two assists and 15 SOG during that span.

Heatherington has two goals and five points with 14 PIMs through 19 games played while captaining the Belleville Senators (AHL) prior to his promotion. The 27-year-old has 20 career NHL games played prior to this season, with two assists and a +6 plus/minus.

Heatherington will head down to Belleville (AHL) after not seeing any NHL action during his call-up. He will hope to make it back up to the big club where he has two assists and 33 PIMs in his 20 career NHL games.

Heatherington was trending towards being a healthy scratch anyways because Erik Brannstrom is returning to the lineup.

Heatherington will come out of the Senators lineup as a precautionary measure. Victor Mete will draw back into the lineup to replace him.

Heatherington will make his Senators debut on Thursday after Josh Brown landed on the COVID-19 reserve list on Wednesday. Heatherington has one assist in 10 AHL games this season and two assists in 11 career NHL games.

Heatherington has one assist in five games with the Stars this season but has spent most of the season in Texas, where he has picked up 17 points (3G / 14A) across 52 contests. Marc Methot was hurt on Tuesday, so Julius Honka will likely draw into the lineup on Tuesday, leaving Heatherington as the Stars seventh defenseman.

Heatherington has been a healthy scratch for the last five games but head coach Ken Hitchcock said that he will be back in tonight, on the second game of a back-to-back. Julius Honka left yesterday’s game with an upper-body injury, so it seems highly unlikely that he will play tonight. Regardless of who comes out, Heatherington will be back in. He has no points in four games with the Stars.

Heatherington, 22, has been practicing with the Stars but will finally draw into the lineup on Thursday. The former second round pick (No.50 in 2013) had three goals and 10 assists (13 points) in 39 games with Texas (AHL) prior to his recall. Heatherington has complied 47 points (9G / 38A) in 165 career AHL contests.
