Slumping Dany Heatley demoted to third line
Dany Heatley - W - Minnesota Wild
Feb. 24, 2013 - 11:10 AM ET

Veteran right winger Dany Heatley was taken off the Minnesota Wild's first line Saturday night and had a miserable game in the team's 3-1 loss to the Flames in Calgary.

Heatley, a Calgary native, was minus-3 and dropped to the third line as Pierre-Marc Bouchard took his spot alongside Parise and Koivu. Asked about Heatley's struggles, Minnesota coach Mike Yeo said: "We'll figure that out. I'm not worried. Heater will get going. ...This was a team effort (Saturday night) in the wrong direction."
