However, he is 2-0-0 with a 1.48 GAA and .947 SV% in two starts vs. the Islanders this season.
Heinen will be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
Heinen has picked up just one assist in his last nine games and was benched late in Tuesday’s game. After signing Brian Gionta and acquiring Tommy Wingels at the deadline, Heinen will take a seat tonight vs. the Penguins.
Aho will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.
Aho has been in the lineup for the last four games and even picked up two assists, but will come out tonight in Montreal. Brandon Davidson will make his Islanders debut in Aho’s spot as he draws in against his former team.

Hayes (contusion) is doubtful to play Saturday in Ottawa.

Carter has been out since October after having surgery to repair a cut on his ankle. It's encouraging to hear he might be practicing with the team again soon, but given that they haven't even finalized that timeline yet, it's best to consider him week-to-week for now.
Acciari (lower-body) will be back in the Bruins lineup on Sunday.
Aho will draw back into the Islanders lineup on Monday.
Aho has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Dennis Seidenberg tonight vs. the Predators. Aho has one goal and one assist while averaging 17:44 TOI in 11 games with the Islanders this season.
