Centreman Joe Veleno’s role with Canadiens comes into sharper focus

“Even the last couple of games prior to this week, I’ve been feeling a little bit better with the puck,” Veleno said. “More confident. Building some energy and feeling good about myself. As long as the chances are coming and the rest of my game is pretty dialed in, the offence has to start clicking at a certain point. I’ve just got to stick with it while, obviously, understanding my role. I do the best with what I get. That’s all I can do.
