Former Princeton University All-America forward Max Veronneau has arrived in the National Hockey League. The Ottawa native scored his first career NHL goal in the Ottawa Senators' 5-4 loss at Vancouver on Wednesday, his third career NHL game. He made his league debut on March 14 in a 2-0 win over St. Louis, and picked up his first professional point with an assist in a 6-2 win against Toronto on March 16. He was held scoreless in last night's 5-1 loss at Calgary.
Veronneau signed with an Ottawa as a free agent after Princeton was eliminated from the ECAC Hockey tournament by Brown University on March 16. He was one of the top scorers in the nation in 2017-18, when he finished with 55 points in helping the Tigers to the ECAC Hockey title plus the school's first NCAA Tournament berth in 10 years. He left Princeton as one of the Tigers' top all-time scorers with 52 goals and 91 assists for 143 points in 130 appearances, after notching 13-23—36 points in 31 games as a senior.
