Heinen played junior hockey in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) for the Merritt Centennials and Surrey Eagles before playing American collegiate hockey for the University of Denver Pioneers from 2014 to 2016.
===Boston Bruins===
The Boston Bruins drafted Heinen in the fourth round, 116th overall, at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft signing him to a three-year, entry-level contract. He immediately made his professional debut with the Bruins' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Providence Bruins, to complete the 2015–16 season.
After his first training camp with Boston, Heinen impressed and was surprisingly kept on the opening night roster for the 2016–17 season. He made his NHL debut on October 13, 2016, in a victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Heinen was assigned to the AHL on October 17, 2017, after playing three games during the 2017–18 season. He was called up on October 26, 2017, when he scored his first two NHL goals in a 2–1 win over the San Jose Sharks.
===Anaheim Ducks===
On February 24, 2020, while in his fourth season with the Bruins, Heinen was dealt at the NHL trade deadline to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for left winger Nick Ritchie.
