Stéphane Veilleux

Stéphane Veilleux (born November 16, 1981) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey left winger.

He most notably played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Minnesota Wild, Tampa Bay Lightning and the New Jersey Devils.

After the 2008–09 season, the Wild decided not to renew his contract, and he was released into unrestricted free agency.

[citation needed] On February 24, 2012, Veilleux was traded, along with Kurtis Foster, Nick Palmieri and the Washington Capitals' second-round pick in 2012, back to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for defenceman Marek Židlický.
