Veronneau was an undrafted free agent out of Princeton University, who had four points (2G / 2A) in 16 career NHL games with the Senators. He's spent the last two season in the SHL, most recently scoring 34 goals with 26 assists (60 points) in 51 games with Leksands IF.
Veronneau played in three straight games but was largely ineffective, so he'll come out and Mikael Boedker will draw in vs. the Blue Jackets. Boedker has been a healthy scratch a lot this year, so don't be surprised if Veronneau replaces him on Wednesday.
Veronneau, who had four points (2G / 2A) in 12 NHL games with the Senators last season but stared 2019-20 in the AHL. The 23-year-old has three goals and three assists in 14 AHL games and will likely make his season debut in Detroit on Tuesday.
Veronneau was born in Ottawa and signed with the Senators after finishing his senior year at Princeton University. The 23-year-old forward was first on the team in assists (24), second in goals (13) and points (37) in 31 games. Signing with the depleted Senators could mean that Veronneau could get an opportunity to play in the NHL right away.
