Multi-point performance Sunday Veleno notched a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Veleno cracked the scoresheet for the first time since Feb. 4, when he recorded an assist in a 5-4 win over the Kraken, and he scored for the first time since Jan. 7, when he bagged a goal versus the Senators. Fantasy managers can't overreact to this two-point performance, though, as the 25-year-old has recorded only 10 points in 56 appearances this season. Thus, his fantasy upside is close to minimal.

Expected to play Thursday Veleno (illness) is slated to be in the lineup Thursday versus San Jose, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Impact Veleno missed practice Wednesday with his illness, but has not missed any game action. Veleno was dealt from Detroit at the deadline with Petr Mrazek going to Detroit. Veleno had five goals and five assists in 56 games with the Red Wings this season and has yet to hit the scoresheet in two games with Chicago since the trade.

Absent from practice Veleno is under the weather and wasn't on the ice Wednesday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact At this point, Veleno should probably be considered questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Sharks. In his two games with the Hawks, the 25-year-old center has yet to register a point while generating six hits, two blocks and one shot. Even when healthy, Veleno is far from a lock to suit up on a nightly basis and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact Veleno gave the Red Wings the lead six minutes into the game, 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.
