Heinola (ankle) has been medically cleared and will be reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Thursday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports. - Heinola will suit up for the first time this season with the Moose but will have to wait a while to make his NHL season debut. Over the last four seasons, the 22-year-old blueliner has logged just 25 NHL contests. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him featuring prominently for the Jets this year. |

Heinola (ankle) will join the Jets for their upcoming three-game road trip, John Lu of TSN reports Tuesday. - Heinola was originally expected to not return prior to the team's trip but may have taken an additional step in his recovery. Still, the 22-year-old blueliner's presence on the trip doesn't guarantee he will get into the lineup. Whenever Heinola is cleared to play, he will need to be activated off injured reserve, which will likely mean Declan Chisolm or Logan Stanley is shipped down to the minors. |

Heinola (ankle) was on the ice without gear Tuesday but isn't yet nearing a return, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports. - Heinola was given a 2-3 month recovery timeline in October and is still on track to meet that target, according to coach Rick Bowness. Considering the 22-year-old defender has a combined 35 NHL games over the last four seasons, he will probably head to the minors once given the all-clear and figures to remain a fringe roster player. |

Heinola was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Thursday. - This move is likely one to get Heinola playing time -- he had three assists in four games during a recent run of play, but he was a healthy scratch Wednesday versus the Red Wings. With Nate Schmidt clear of the COVID-19 protocols, Heinola was the odd man out. The 21-year-old could finish the year with the Moose unless injuries arise on the Jets' blue line. |

Heinola was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Wednesday. - Heinola will likely continue to jump between levels and could even be recalled before Friday's clash with Boston. Even if he is brought back up, the 21-year-old defenseman will be hard-pressed to crack the Jets' lineup and should therefore be considered a relative non-factor in fantasy contests. |

Neal Pionk will be eligible to rejoin the team Wednesday versus the Wild, and it's expected Heinola will be the one exiting the lineup to accommodate him. The Finn remains a player to keep an eye on in dynasty formats, but his fantasy value is low in redraft leagues. |
