Islanders defenceman Emil Heineman was ejected after a knee-on-knee hit on Edmonton forward Isaac Howard less than three minutes into Saturday’s game. Heineman received a five-minute major and game misconduct; Howard needed help off the ice and could not put weight on his left leg, with the Oilers yet to provide an update by the end of the first period.
