|---|---|---|
| July 21, 2023 | Heponiemi signed a one-year contract with EHC Biel of Switzerland's National League on Friday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports. - Heponiemi played 25 games over three years in his NHL career, scoring twice and adding four assists. He spent most of his time with AHL Charlotte over the last two seasons. Heponiemi had 12 goals and 31 assists in 62 AHL games in 2022-23. The Panthers gave Heponiemi a qualifying offer in June, so they will retain his NHL rights. | None |
| Dec. 21, 2022 | Heponiemi was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Wednesday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports. - With Anton Lundell (upper body) set to return to the lineup against New Jersey on Wednesday, the Panthers are no longer in need of Heponiemi's services up front. Heponiemi, who's picked up three points through 10 top-level appearances this campaign, will likely continue to bounce between levels throughout the season. | None |
| Dec. 15, 2022 | Heponiemi was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Thursday. - Heponiemi was at Panthers' morning practice Thursday. He was sent down a week ago when the Panthers recalled netminder Alex Lyon. Heponiemi has five goals and eight points in 18 AHL games, while picking up a goal and an assist in seven games with the Panthers this season. | None |
| Dec. 8, 2022 | Heponiemi was assigned to AHL Charlotte on Thursday, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - Heponiemi was sent down to make room for goaltender Alex Lyon on the roster, so it appears as though one of Florida's top two netminders may be dealing with an illness or an injury. Heponiemi will likely return to the big club as soon as Lyon is returned to the minors. | None |
| Dec. 3, 2022 | Heponiemi scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken. - Heponiemi made the most of his 8:24 of ice time, scoring a third-period tally to stretch the Panthers' lead to 4-1. The 23-year-old didn't get much time, as Florida began the game with 11 forwards and lost Patric Hornqvist (upper body) in the second period. With injuries piling up, Heponiemi should be able to stay with the big club for a while as an emergency recall. He has two points, five shots on net, two hits, two PIM and an even plus-minus rating in six outings this season. | None |
| Nov. 27, 2022 | Heponiemi was called up from AHL Charlotte on Sunday on an emergency basis. - Florida only had 11 forwards Saturday against St. Louis after Aleksander Barkov (illness) was ruled out. It appears as though Heponiemi could play this week during the Panthers' road trip. He has four goals and seven points in 16 AHL contests this year. Heponiemi also has one assist in two appearances with Florida in 2022-23. | None |
| Nov. 10, 2022 | Heponiemi was sent to the AHL on Thursday. - Heponiemi has an assist in two games with Florida this season while averaging 10:29 of ice time. He also has two goals and four points in six AHL contests. Florida has promoted him occasionally over the last three seasons, but it's typically been to serve in a bottom-six role. | None |
| Nov. 6, 2022 | Heponiemi logged an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Ducks. - With Patric Hornqvist (upper body) out and Matthew Tkachuk suspended, Heponiemi drew into the lineup for the first time this season. He made the opportunity count, setting up a Brandon Montour goal in the second period. Heponiemi has recorded three points in 15 career games prior to 2022-23, but at 23 years old, he's starting to get to the older side of prospect status. He's expected to see bottom-six minutes when he plays going forward, which could be sporadically once Tkachuk finishes serving his suspension. | None |
| Nov. 4, 2022 | Heponiemi has been recalled from AHL Charlotte on Friday by the Panthers, according to David Dwork of Local 10 Miami. - Heponiemi passed through waivers before the start of the season and was sent to Charlotte, where he had two goals and four points in six games. Heponiemi had one assist in six games with Florida last season and will be a depth player at this time with the Panthers. | None |
| Oct. 9, 2022 | The Panthers waived Heponiemi on Sunday, per CBS Sports. - Heponiemi scored nine goals and 39 points in 56 games with AHL Charlotte last season. He should spend most of the 2022-23 campaign in the minors assuming he clears waivers. | None |
| Oct. 6, 2022 | Heponiemi will get a look on Florida's top line during Thursday's preseason game against Tampa Bay, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - Heponiemi will skate alongside Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart in the contest. There has been plenty of experimentation with line combinations during training camp for the Panthers. Heponiemi is in the mix for a roster spot, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he spent most of the year in the minors again. He picked up one assist in six NHL appearances last season. | None |
| July 5, 2022 | Heponiemi signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida on Tuesday. - Heponiemi tallied nine goals and 39 points in 56 games with AHL Charlotte last season. The 23-year-old forward has three points in 15 career NHL appearances. He'll likely spend most of the 2022-23 campaign in the minors but could see some time in Florida's bottom-six as well. | None |
| April 27, 2022 | Heponiemi was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - At this point it isn't clear if Heponiemi will get a chance to crack the big club's lineup before the regular season comes to an end following Friday's matchup with Montreal. He's gone scoreless through four NHL appearances this year. | None |
| Jan. 28, 2022 | Heponiemi was demoted to AHL Charlotte on Friday. - Heponiemi's demotion could be an indication Patric Hornqvist is closing in on a return to the lineup, though he may also be brought back to the taxi squad ahead of Saturday's clash with the Sharks. In his four appearances this year, the 23-year-old winger recorded five shots, one block and a minus-4 rating while averaging 12:40 of ice time. | None |
| Jan. 17, 2022 | Heponiemi was reassigned from the AHL Charlotte to the taxi squad Monday, per CBS Sports. - Heponiemi has posted a minus-4 rating in four NHL games this season. He could suit up against the Flames on Tuesday. | None |
| Jan. 14, 2022 | Heponiemi was assigned to AHL Charlotte from the taxi squad Friday. - Heponiemi has recorded four goals and nine assists over 22 appearances with AHL Charlotte this season. The 23-year-old has averaged 12:39 of ice time and has been held without a point over four NHL appearances in 2021-22. | None |
| Jan. 12, 2022 | Heponiemi was reassigned to the taxi squad Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - Heponiemi has gone without a point in four games this season. The 23-year-old forward is likely to remain in the mix for bottom-six minutes. | None |
| Jan. 8, 2022 | Heponiemi was recalled from the taxi squad and is expected to play Saturday versus the Hurricanes, Steve Goldstein of Fox Sports Florida reports. - Heponiemi will draw into a fourth-line position in place of Patric Hornqvist for Saturday's contest. The 22-year-old Heponiemi has made two previous appearances this season, logging four shots on goal and a minus-3 rating. | None |
| Jan. 4, 2022 | Heponiemi was placed on the taxi squad Tuesday. - Heponiemi was called-up in light of fellow left-wingers Mason Marchment (Covid-19) and Noel Acciari (undisclosed) currently missing time. The 22-year-old has tallied four goals and nine assists through 22 appearances with AHL Charlotte this season. | None |
| Dec. 17, 2021 | Heponiemi was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Friday, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - Heponiemi went minus-3 with four shots on goal in the last two games. He was filling in for a Panthers team dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak, but their season has now been paused through the holiday break. That allows Heponiemi to return to the Checkers. | None |
| Dec. 14, 2021 | Heponiemi was recalled by the Panthers on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - Although Heponiemi's been recalled, at this point he isn't expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Ottawa. The 22-year-old forward has tallied 13 points in 21 AHL appearances this season. | None |
| Dec. 4, 2021 | Heponiemi was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Saturday, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - It wouldn't be surprising to see Heponiemi back with the big club prior to Tuesday's matchup with the Blues. The 22-year-old forward has yet to crack Florida's lineup this season. | None |
| Nov. 29, 2021 | Heponiemi was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Monday. - Hepomiemi's promotion likely means that neither Aleksander Barkov (knee) nor Anthony Duclair (lower body) will be ready to play against Washington on Tuesday, though fantasy players will want to await official confirmation from the team. Even without those two players, Heponiemi is unlikely to crack the lineup in favor of Ryan Lomberg or Maxim Mamin. | None |
| Nov. 28, 2021 | Heponiemi was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Sunday, per CBS Sports. - Heponiemi was promoted to be an insurance body during Florida's back-to-back games over the weekend. The 22-year-old has 11 points through 18 AHL appearances but hasn't seen any NHL action since last season. | None |
| Nov. 27, 2021 | Heponiemi was called up from AHL Charlotte on Saturday, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - Heponiemi had two points in nine NHL contests last season but has yet to make his Panthers debut in 2021-22. He's been reasonably productive with the Checkers, recording 11 points in 17 games, but so far has yet to flash the type of elite talent that allowed him to post 118 points in 57 games with WHL Swift Current in 2017-18. It's unclear if Heponiemi will draw into the lineup during this call-up. | None |
