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 an offensive threat, though he's only 22 years old and bench boss Jeff Blashill still has the training wheels on the young pivot.
