Heinen not 'doing anything different' during slump, Sullivan knows goals will come

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Following the Penguins' Oct. 22 matchup with the Blue Jackets in Columbus, Danton Heinen had registered three goals and three assists in five games, but in 10 games since then, he has no goals and just one assist.

Part of that is due to Heinen not having as prominent a role as he did early on, as his average ice-time has taken a bit of a hit. He played over 15 minutes in five separate games early on, but also has two games after that in which he logged fewer than 10 minutes.
