Heinola, 20, is tied for third among AHL defenders with 10 points (4G, 6A) in 16 games with the Moose this season. He also sits tied with Jamie Drysdale for the lead among rookie defenders. The Honkajoki, Finland product has seven points (2G, 5A) in his last six games with Manitoba.
The Moose are off from game action until March 25 when they host the Laval Rocket at Bell MTS Iceplex.
