Red Wings' Joe Veleno: Mired in another slump
Veleno hasn't recorded a point since Feb. 13.
Veleno has 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) this season, which represents a career high, but he's gone 19 straight games without a single goal or helper.

Red Wings' Alex Nedeljkovic: Appears in relief
Nedeljkovic stopped eight-of-nine shots Thursday in a 4-3 loss to St. Louis.
It was his first NHL appearance since Dec. 8 after being recalled on an emergency basis from Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League earlier Thursday. Nedeljkovic will be sent back down as soon as Ville Husso (lower body) returns, which may come as soon as mid next week. However, Magnus Hollberg was especially porous Thursday, allowing three goals on 13 shots, so Nedeljkovic could get the call Saturday against Philly.

Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: Pulled after singing the Blues
Hellberg allowed three goals on 13 shots Thursday before being relieved at 12:40 of the second period against the Blues.
Hellberg didn't get much help from his teammates, who were criticized post-game by coach Derek Lalonde. "I'm really disappointed with the way we handled giving up the goals," said Lalonde. "Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves for four or five minutes after every goal, we have to go play the right way." He was replaced by Alex Nedeljikovic who made eight saves.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: First NHL goal
Edvinsson scored a goal in a 4-3 loss to the Blues on Thursday. He also took two minor penalties.
Edvinsson put the Wings up 1-0 just 38 seconds into the game when his centering pass from the left face-off circle ricocheted off the skate of Justin Faulk and past Joel Hofer. But the sixth overall pick (2021) will only remember the goal and not how it went in. It was his third NHL game. His upside is strong.
