Veleno (undisclosed) is slated to miss Friday's game versus Nashville, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno is currently mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he's recorded 13 shots and three assists. For now, David Perron looks set to take on a top-six role against the Predators 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.
