Veleno was acquired by Chicago from Detroit on Friday in exchange for Petr Mrazek and Craig Smith.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno has five goals, 10 points and 93 hits in 56 appearances with the Red Wings this season. He served in a bottom-six capacity with Detroit and is likely to have the same role in Chicago.

Veleno logged an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno ended a 12-game point drought with the helper. The 25-year-old was previously credited with an assist Jan. 14 versus the Sharks, but it was taken away on a scoring change after that contest. The 25-year-old forward remains firmly in a fourth-line role for the Red Wings. That has kept his offense down -- he has just 10 points with 43 shots on net, 71 hits and a minus-10 rating through 49 appearances.

Veleno logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno's move to the top six proved to be temporary, as he was back on the fourth line in Tuesday's game. The 25-year-old has been decent over the last month, earning eight points over his last 14 outings, but if he remains on the fourth line, his offense is likely to suffer. The forward is at five goals, five assists, 35 shots on net, 56 hits and a minus-5 rating through 39 contests overall.

Veleno scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno ended a six-game goal drought, during which he had two assists. The 24-year-old forward has been one of the biggest beneficiaries under new head coach Todd McLellan, who has Veleno in a top-six role at even strength. He rarely saw anything other than fourth-line usage early in the season, and he's earned seven of his nine points this campaign over the last 11 contests. Veleno has added 33 shots on net, 54 hits and a minus-4 rating through 36 appearances.

Veleno registered an assist while logging 13:09 of ice time during Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno finds himself on the top line alongside Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond and has paid instant dividends following the promotion. The 24-year-old's fantasy appeal could benefit from some exposure to the power play, but Veleno is worth a look in deeper leagues as long as he's enjoying such a prominent even-strength assignment.

Veleno scored a goal on two shots and had one hit in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno gave the Red Wings the lead six minutes into the game, going to the net and redirecting a feed from fellow fourth-liner Jonatan Berggren. It was the third straight game with a goal and four consecutive with a point for Veleno. It's a remarkable spasm of offense from a forward, who had just one marker through his first 26 outings.

Veleno scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno went from nothing on offense for well over a month to a three-game point streak in the span of a week. He has two goals and an assist during his recent bounce-back on offense. The 24-year-old forward has contributed just five points with 24 shots on net, 42 hits, 19 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 28 appearances this season. Veleno will have to prove himself over a longer stretch, and that may still not be enough for him to earn fantasy interest since he's firmly in a bottom-six role.

Veleno scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno has a point in back-to-back games after previously going 13 contests without one. The 24-year-old has doubled his output to four points through 27 outings this season. He's added 22 shots on net, 41 hits and 19 blocked shots while playing in a fourth-line role. He'll need to show more consistency to be an option in fantasy, and it's unlikely he'll be moving up the lineup.

Veleno logged an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno saw a season-low 6:45 of ice time. Despite that red flag, it's a positive he got on the scoresheet for the first time since his goal in Chicago on Nov. 6. The 24-year-old has been an occasional scratch during a now-finished 13-game point drought. He has just three points to go with 20 shots on net, 39 hits, 18 blocked shots, nine PIM and a minus-5 rating over 26 appearances in a fourth-line role.

Veleno was held off the scoresheet for the 13th game in a row in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Veleno has been scratched four times in that span, but he's playing more often than not. When he suits up, he usually fills a fourth-line role, which won't make it easy for him to generate offense. The 24-year-old is at two points, 20 shots on net, 37 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 25 outings this season, a drastic drop-off compared to the career-high 28 points he amassed in 2023-24. Veleno is also averaging a career-low 11:01 of ice time in 2024-25.
