The Detroit Red Wings didn’t help their draft odds, but Joe Veleno may have signaled a future getting brighter by the game. Veleno netted his first NHL goal on a wicked snapper and the Red Wings rallied from a 2-0 hole to defeat Columbus 5-2 Friday evening.
Veleno opened the scoring for Detroit and was followed shortly after with a Danny DeKeyser goal that was from what was a ridiculous angle.
