Veleno scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks. - Veleno deflected a shot from Moritz Seider, and his own deflection ricocheted off the Blackhawks' Nolan Allan before getting past Petr Mrazek for Detroit's third goal early in the third period. This was Veleno's first goal and second point of the season, so he won't deliver a lot of fantasy production in most formats. However, he's been putting up solid numbers in other categories, as he's racked up 19 hits and nine blocked shots in his 12 contests. Ultimately, though, the lack of scoring can't be overlooked, so fantasy managers would be wise looking at other options in the waiver wire. |

Veleno recorded an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators. - The point was Veleno's first in five appearances this season. The 24-year-old has played in a bottom-six role so far, adding seven shots on net, 12 hits, six blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He's filled a similar role over the last three campaigns, earning a career-high 28 points over 80 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Veleno can throw hits, but his offense is a bit too limited to help in most fantasy formats. |

Veleno signed a two-year, $4.55 million contract with the Red Wings on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. - Veleno was a restricted free agent coming off a one-year, $825,000 contract. He had 12 goals and 28 points in 80 contests last season. The 24-year-old is likely to start the 2024-25 campaign in a bottom-six role, but he does have some upside. |

Veleno finished with 12 goals, 16 assists and a minus-16 rating through 80 games of the 2023-24 campaign. - Veleno established new career highs for goals and helpers, but that should be taken with a grain of salt, as this was just his fourth year in the league, including a five-game sample in the 2020-21 campaign. When Veleno was drafted in the first round (No. 30 overall) in 2018, the consensus thought among hockey pundits was that the skilled forward would rapidly evolve into a top-six skater with heavy utilization on the power play, but that hasn't materialized. Veleno took a pay cut ahead of last season and ended up with a one-year, $825,000 contract to remain with the Wings. The 24-year-old is set to become a restricted free agent after showing modest improvement this season. |

Veleno (head) will play Thursday versus the Coyotes, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. - Veleno will play Thursday after taking a puck off the head or neck in the second period of Tuesday's game versus the Sabres. The 24-year-old will play in a middle-six role between Michael Rasmussen and Patrick Kane. With Veleno good to go and Austin Czarnik called up, Daniel Sprong will be a healthy scratch. |
None |
| March 12, 2024 |
Veleno won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Sabres after taking a puck to the head in the second period. - Veleno was struck by a Connor Clifton shot and immediately left the game. The 24-year-old Veleno has been in a top-six role due to Dylan Larkin (lower body) being out. With Larkin not expected back for another week, Veleno's absence will likely force the Red Wings to make a roster move. |

| Feb. 18, 2024 |
Veleno posted an assist and six PIM in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flames. - Veleno was whistled for roughing, hooking and holding throughout the contest, but Wings goalie James Reimer stood on his head and the penalty-killing units were on point to let the winger off the hook. Most importantly, Veleno added his fifth point in the last six games, with the hot streak comprised of two goals and three helpers. The third-line contributor continues to sprinkle in offense, having already established career highs in goals (10), assists (13), and power-play points (five) through 52 games. |

Veleno scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Oilers. - Veleno scored midway through the second period to cut the Red Wings' deficit to 3-2. The 24-year-old has two goals and two assists over his last four games, with three of those points coming on the power play. While he's seeing bottom-six usage at even strength, he's also on the second power-play unit. The Quebec native has 10 goals, 22 points (five on the power play), 58 shots on net, 56 hits and a minus-13 rating through 50 appearances in what's already a career year. |

Veleno provided an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Kings. - With eight goals and nine assists through 40 games, Veleno finds himself four points away from establishing a new career high. The Red Wings have given Veleno plenty of opportunities to shine since drafting him 30th overall in 2018, and this is a pivotal year in terms of proving his worth given that he's on an expiring contract with a cap hit set at a mere $825,000. Veleno is due to become a restricted free agent in the summer. |

| Jan. 7, 2024 |
Veleno scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Ducks. - Veleno was just able to squeak in a goal on a wrap-around in the second period, though it required video review to confirm. The 23-year-old center has picked up three points over his last four games since he missed two contests with an undisclosed injury. He's been solid in a middle-six role this season with 16 points, 50 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-9 rating over 38 appearances. |
None |
| Jan. 4, 2024 |
Veleno recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings. - Veleno has two helpers over three contests since he returned from an undisclosed issue. The 23-year-old shifted back to center after a run of time on the wing, covering for Andrew Copp's (lower body) absence Thursday. Veleno has been a solid depth forward this season, racking up 15 points, 48 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-11 rating over 37 appearances. His uptick in offense and drop in physicality leaves him on the fringe of fantasy relevance in standard formats. |
None |
| Dec. 30, 2023 |
Veleno (undisclosed) will be back in the lineup versus Boston on Sunday. - Veleno missed both games after the Christmas break. He has only one assist in his last six games, giving the center seven goals and 13 points in 34 contests. Veleno is expected to return to his role as a top-six forward, but his time on the power play may be limited as he received no work with the man advantage in his last two games. |
None |
| Dec. 28, 2023 |
Veleno (undisclosed) is slated to miss out versus Nashville on Friday, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports. - Veleno is currently mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he recorded 13 shots and three assists. For now, David Perron looks set to take on a top-six role but Veleno should be in the mix to reclaim that spot once given the all-clear. Veleno did practice Thursday, which could set him up to return against Boston on Sunday. |
None |
| Dec. 27, 2023 |
Veleno will not be available against Minnesota on Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports. - Veleno has racked up 13 points in 34 games this season and should be a near-lock to top the personal best he set last season (20 points), barring an extended injury absence. With Veleno out of the lineup, both Michael Rasmussen and Jonatan Berggren figure to be candidates to move into a top-six role. |
None |
| Dec. 23, 2023 |
Veleno registered an assist in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Flyers. - The helper counts as Veleno's sixth point in the last month, a 16-game span coupled with a minus-11 rating. While those are pedestrian numbers from a fantasy perspective, it's worth noting that Veleno has been getting more looks on the power play after he'd been excluded from that spot during the first month of the season. |
None |
| Dec. 11, 2023 |
Veleno scored a power-play goal on two shots, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Stars. - Veleno led the Red Wings' skaters with 22:11 of ice time. He was able to knock in a loose puck for their third goal, but a comeback push didn't materialize. Veleno has a modest four points over his last 13 outings, giving him seven goals, three assists, 32 shots on net, 21 hits, six PIM and a minus-2 rating through 27 contests overall. |

| Dec. 3, 2023 |
Veleno opened the scoring in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens. - Veleno was in perfect position for his goal once Lucas Raymond's shot pinballed off the pad of goaltender Jake Allen. While Veleno hasn't had more than three shots in a given contest, he's been on point, managing six goals through 23 games and turning in a remarkable 22.2 shooting percentage. He's registered only three helpers, but it's safe to say that overall, Veleno is currently exceeding the value of the $825,000 contract extension that he signed ahead of this season. |
None |
| Nov. 23, 2023 |
Veleno registered an assist in Wednesday's 4-0 shutout win over the Devils. - Veleno had cooled off considerably following a stretch in October that resulted in him netting five goals in as many games, so returning to the scoresheet in such a big win should be a boon for the forward's confidence. A first-round, 30th overall draft pick from 2018, Veleno has had countless chances to prove his worth in Motown, but we've yet to see him break out offensively for a sustained period of time. He's collected eight points through 18 games, which qualifies as a pedestrian output considering how deep the forward position is in fantasy hockey. |

Veleno scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 loss to Boston. - It was his fifth goal in as many games. Veleno tucked a shot into the top right corner past Jeremy Swayman at 6:40 of the third period. He has six points in nine games. At this rate, Veleno will shatter his career best nine goals and 20 points from last season, but this will be a difficult pace to keep up over the course of the year. |
None |

Veleno tallied a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kraken. - Veleno opened the scoring early in the second period Tuesday, deflecting an Olli Maatta shot over the shoulder of Joey Daccord to give the Red Wings a 1-0 lead. It's been quite a run for the 23-year-old Veleno, tallying four goals in his last three games after scoring just nine goals with 11 assists in 81 games last season. While it's unlikely he'll provide offense at his current rate, Veleno could be a decent secondary-scoring option while centering David Perron and Daniel Sprong on Detroit's third line. |
None |

Veleno scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames. - Veleno erupted for three goals over two games this weekend. He picked up just one assist in four outings prior to the burst of offense. The 23-year-old has four points, seven shots on net, four hits and a plus-4 rating over six contests. He's seeing consistent time in a bottom-six role, though he'll have trouble maintaining any gains on offense since he sees little power-play time. |
None |
| Oct. 21, 2023 |
Veleno scored his first two goals of the season in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators. - The 23-year-old produced the first two-goal game of his career while also supplying Detroit's only offense at even strength -- the team's other three tallies came on the power play. Veleno set modest career highs with nine goals and 20 points in 81 games last season, and while he could top those numbers in 2023-24 as the roster around him continues to improve, his checking-line role and lack of ice time with the man advantage won't make him a consistent offensive threat. |
None |

Veleno signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with the Red Wings on Tuesday. - Veleno picked up four points over the last 10 contests of the 2022-23 campaign after enduring a 20-game point drought. The 23-year-old forward was a restricted free agent after completing his entry-level contract. He projects to serve in a bottom-six role again after a 20-point, 152-hit effort over 81 outings last season. |
None |
| March 24, 2023 |
Veleno hasn't recorded a point since Feb. 13. - Veleno has 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) this season, which represents a career high, but he's gone 19 straight games without a single goal or helper. The waivers-exempt winger is in a contract year as a pending restricted free agent, though it's tough to see Veleno having much leverage in contract negotiations given his inconsistent ways. |
None |

Veleno produced an assist and two PIM in Monday's 6-1 win over the Canucks. - The helper was Veleno's first since Jan. 10, and he had just two goals in the 12 games in between. The 23-year-old center set a new career high with 16 points through 51 outings this season. He's added 56 shots on net, 98 hits, 26 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating while filling a bottom-six role for much of the campaign. |

Veleno scored a goal in Detroit's 5-2 loss to Edmonton on Tuesday. - Veleno's marker came at 19:51 of the second period and narrowed Edmonton's lead to 3-2. He has seven goals and 15 points in 48 contests this season. Veleno was held off the scoresheet in his previous four contests. |
None |
| Jan. 19, 2023 |
Veleno scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights. - Veleno had picked up three helpers over 10 games since his last goal. The 23-year-old forward's tally midway through the second period stood as his first career game-winner. He's up to six goals, 14 points -- one off of his career high -- and 43 shots on net through 43 contests overall while primarily working in a bottom-six role. |
None |
| Dec. 28, 2022 |
Veleno contributed a goal in a 5-4 overtime win against Pittsburgh on Wednesday. - Veleno has recorded a point in each of his last four games. He's up to five goals and 10 points in 32 games this season. The 22-year-old entered the contest averaging just 12:04 of ice time this season, so while he's hot right now, it will be hard for him to make regular offensive contributions unless his role grows. |
None |
| Dec. 22, 2022 |
Veleno provided an assist in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Lightning. - Veleno intercepted a lazy puck-clearing attempt from goalie Brian Elliott and quickly fed Elmer Soderblom for the game-winning goal. It appears that Veleno's confidence is up as he's riding a three-game point streak comprised of a goal and two assists. Veleno, whom the Wings drafted 30th overall in 2018, remains a work in progress, but his offensive upside makes him worth watching during the hot streak. |
None |
| Dec. 18, 2022 |
Veleno scored on his only shot Saturday, but the Red Wings suffered a 6-3 loss to the Senators. - The Red Wings assigned Veleno to the AHL on Thursday, but he was back at the top level the next day, as the parent club evidently considered that a procedural move. At any rate, Veleno still has a long way to go in terms of justifying his selection as the 30th overall pick by Detroit in the 2018 draft. He's added just 13 goals and 10 assists through 100 NHL games and parts of three seasons. |
None |

Veleno was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Friday, per CapFriendly. - Veleno's demotion Friday appears to have been a paper move. He has six points through 28 games with Detroit this season and will likely suit up Saturday against the Senators. |
None |
| Dec. 15, 2022 |
Veleno was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday, per CapFriendly. - Given the Red Wings' significant injury troubles, this appears to be a paper move. Veleno has six points in 28 games as a regular bottom-six presence this season. |
None |
| Dec. 14, 2022 |
Veleno delivered four hits during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the visiting Hurricanes. - Veleno has mustered just six points this season, including two assists since Nov. 19. With 22 points during his 98-game career, the 2018 first-round draft pick has yet to provide the type of offense worthy of his prospect status. Veleno, who added two blocks in the loss, has registered a plus-3 rating this season after logging a mins-14 in 66 games as a rookie. With Dylan Larkin suffering an injury Tuesday, Veleno will be expected to step up offensively in the captain's absence. |
None |
| Nov. 30, 2022 |
Veleno produced an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Sabres. - Veleno helped out on a Jonatan Berggren goal at 1:20 of the first period. The assist snapped Veleno's four-game point drought. He continues to be a semi-regular contributor from a bottom-six role, though likely not at a level to help in fantasy. The 22-year-old has three goals, two assists, 19 shots on net, 51 hits and a plus-3 rating through 21 contests. |

Veleno scored a goal, dished two hits, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Sharks. - Veleno gave the Red Wings a 4-2 lead in the third period. The Sharks soon battled back before Detroit responded in kind to take the win. Two of Veleno's three goals this year have come in the last four games, but he's not doing much on offense from a fourth-line role. The center has four points, 13 shots on net, 39 hits, six PIM and a plus-5 rating in 16 appearances this season. |
None |
| Nov. 11, 2022 |
Veleno scored a goal and delivered five hits during Thursday's 8-2 defeat to the visiting Rangers. - Veleno at least showed some tenacity, which was missing from the Red Wings' collective effort. The 22-year-old center produced a game-high in delivered checks. Along with his grit, Veleno used his speed to tie the game at 1-1, scoring for the first time in nine outings. Trailing the play, Veleno received a pass from rookie Jonatan Berggren, who was making his NHL debut, and scored blocker side from the slot. He added two shots in the loss. |
None |
| Oct. 31, 2022 |
Veleno logged an assist and two PIM in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Sabres. - Veleno set up a David Perron goal late in the second period. This was Veleno's first assist and second point in eight games this season. The 22-year-old has mainly played in a bottom-six role, logging five shots on net, 20 hits, four PIM and a plus-3 rating. He's not a factor on the power play yet, so he's safe to leave on the waiver wire in redraft formats. |
None |
| Oct. 23, 2022 |
Veleno scored his first goal of the season in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Ducks. - Veleno crashed the net and anticipated a perfectly timed pass from Adam Erne, accounting for the game's only goal in the second period. The Wings are thin at forward due to Tyler Bertuzzi (upper body), Jakub Vrana (personal), and Robby Fabbri (knee) being out of commission, which presumably gives Veleno more job security at the top level, but he's exempt from waivers and at risk of being sent down to AHL Grand Rapids should he endure a prolonged slump. |
None |

Veleno emerged with the game-winning goal Friday as the Red Wings defeated the Maple Leafs, 4-2, in the preseason contest. - Watching teammate Dominik Kubalik post up in front of opposing netminder Illya Samsonov and blocking his line of sight, Veleno took full advantage with a beautiful wrist shot that brushed twine. The 22-year-old is exempt from waivers, so he can freely shuffle between the Wings and their AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids this season. Last season, Veleno tacked on eight goals, seven assists and 123 hits through 66 games with the parent club. |
None |

Veleno (lower body) participated in Thursday's practice session, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports. - After missing the team's scrimmage Sunday, Veleno was back in action in the lead-up to back-to-back preseason contests versus Washington and Chicago on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Veleno will need all the minutes he can muster during training camp if he is going to avoid starting the year in the minors. Still, the -year-old center did log 66 NHL contests last season in which he garnered eight goals, seven helpers and 123 hits while averaging 13:13 of ice time. |
None |

Veleno didn't take part in Sunday's scrimmage for maintenance purposes, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports. - Veleno is apparently dealing with a lower-body issue. He probably could have played on Sunday had the Red Wings not made the decision to be cautious. |

| April 30, 2022 |
Veleno scored in Friday's season finale, a 5-3 win over the Devils. - This was Veleno's first point since March 22. The rookie had gone 18 straight games without a goal or an assist, and he was minus-8 over that span. Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill tested Veleno at various spots on the lineup, including a top-line role near the finish line, but he was unable to build a meaningful offensive streak, finishing the year with eight goals and seven assists through 66 games. It may be too early to write him off, but this 30th overall pick from 2018 is getting long in the tooth as far as prospects are concerned. |
None |
| March 19, 2022 |
Veleno scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken. - Veleno opened the scoring at 13:18 of the second period on a feed from Dylan Larkin just after the Red Wings killed a penalty. The 22-year-old Veleno had picked up three assists in the eight games since he last scored. The young center has six tallies, 13 points, 47 shots on net, 66 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-6 rating in 46 outings. With the Red Wings mostly healthy up front, Veleno is likely to remain in a bottom-six role. |

Veleno was demoted to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday. - Veleno has averaged 12:22 of ice time and recorded 10 points over 40 appearances in 2021-22. Olli Juolevi was claimed off waivers from Florida in a corresponding move the same day. |
None |
| March 5, 2022 |
Veleno registered an assist in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers. - Veleno drew a faceoff with Tyler Bertuzzi tracking down the loose puck and flinging it into the cage, but it wasn't nearly enough for the Wings as they were served a punishing loss on the road. With five goals and the same number of assists through 40 games, Veleno is developing into a quality offensive threat, though he's only 22 years old and bench boss Jeff Blashill still has the training wheels on the young pivot. |
None |
| Feb. 27, 2022 |
Veleno recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Maple Leafs. - Veleno has chronically shuffled between the AHL and NHL and playing time on the big stage will be harder to come by for the 22-year-old once Jakub Vrana returns from his shoulder injury. However, Veleno is skilled offensively and known for his rigid work ethic, paving the way for additional opportunities should he continue to play like he did Saturday. |

Veleno was elevated from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. - Veleno has averaged 12:16 of ice time and registered three points over the last 10 NHL games. The 22-year-old has recorded seven points over his last four AHL Grand Rapids appearances. |

Veleno was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday. - Veleno has been a lineup fixture in Motown for most of the season, chipping in six points across 31 games. His sparse production and modest ice time (12:13 on average) suggest he likely won't be making a significant fantasy splash anytime soon. |
None |

Veleno scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Kings. - Veleno tallied at 19:13 of the third period after a Viktor Arvidsson empty-netter appeared to have put the game away for the Kings. The Red Wings couldn't get even, but Veleno was able to earn his second point in his last four games. The 22-year-old has struggled to generate much offense in a bottom-six role -- he's at four goals, two assists, 37 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-6 rating through 31 appearances. Until he moves into the top six, he's unlikely to make much of an impact in fantasy. |

Veleno logged two PIM in a 5-4 loss to the Stars on Friday. - Veleno was quiet once again in this one, extending his scoreless streak to 12 games. The 22-year-old has not found much success in his first extended stay in the NHL, with four points in 25 games this year. |

Veleno saw power-play responsibilities in Monday's practice, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. - Head coach Jeff Blashill stopped short of confirming that Veleno will be on the man-advantage unit for Tuesday's home clash against the Sharks, but he reportedly replaced a struggling Filip Zadina in the that key special teams spot for the latest practice session. Detroit continues to run a lackluster power play, as it ranks 30th in the league at 14.4 percent, and Veleno has the offensive skill set necessary to be an impact player on the man advantage should the assignment stick. |
None |

Veleno entered the league's COVID-19 protocols Sunday. - The Red Wings have been officially shut down and aren't scheduled to play again until Dec. 27 at the Rangers, so there's a chance Veleno won't be forced to miss game action.

Veleno (upper body) will not suit up Tuesday against the Bruins. - Veleno will now miss his second straight game after suffering an injury against the Blues on Nov. 24.
