Joe Veleno News: Joining Blueshirts on one-year deal

Veleno signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Rangers on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Veleno's production decreased during his time with Montreal in the 2025-26 campaign. He recorded two goals, three assists, 166 hits, 32 blocked shots and 19 PIM while averaging 12:05 of ice time across 61 regular-season appearances. He snapped a four-year streak with double-digit points but will attempt to bounce back with the Rangers.
