Emil Heineman ejected following collision with Isaac Howard

New York Islanders forward Emil Heineman was ejected during a game against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday after receiving a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct. The incident occurred early in the first period when Heineman made knee-on-knee contact with Oilers forward Isaac Howard along the boards.

Howard required assistance to leave the ice and head toward the dressing room. There was no immediate update regarding the severity of his injury following the collision. Heineman faces potential supplemental discipline from the NHL, which would mark his first suspension in the league.

The Edmonton Oilers won the matchup 4–0, with goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Vasilij Podkolzin, and Jason Dickinson. Connor McDavid contributed an assist, extending his point streak to 14 games.
