Forward Danton Heinen was drafted in the fourth round (116th overall) by the Boston Bruins in the 2014 NHL Draft.

In 220 games with the Bruins, Heinen had 34 goals and 69 assists, with his career year still being his rookie season, where he recorded 47 points. He has 154 points in 348 career games with the Bruins, Anaheim Ducks and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Yesterday, the British Columbia native signed a new one-year deal to remain in Pittsburgh. A statement via Penguins PR:
"The Pittsburgh Penguins have agreed to terms with forward Danton Heinen on a one-year contract, it was announced today by general manager Ron Hextall.

The one-way deal will run through the 2022-23 campaign and carries an average annual value of $1 million.

Heinen, 27, finished his first season with Pittsburgh in 2021-22, recording 18 goals, 15 assists and 33 points in 76 games. His 18 goals were a single-season career high, and his three power-play goals tied his career best set in 2019-20. Fifteen of his 18 goals came at even strength, which trailed only Jake Guentzel (33) and Sidney Crosby (23) for most on the Penguins."
