Dennis Cholowski News

Cholowski was selected in the Seattle Expansion Draft but was waived on Wednesday. In Washington, Cholowski will likely battle with Trevor van Riemsdyk for playing tie on the blueline. He has 10 goals and 17 assists (27 points) in 104 career NHL games (all with Detroit).

Cholowski played in the last three games with the Red Wings, playing just 12:00 TOI last night vs. the Avalanche. With the Red Wings off until Friday, Cholowski goes back to Grand Rapids, where he has 12 points (3G / 9A) in 27 games.

Cholowski is expected to replace Gustav Lindstrom, who is out with an undisclosed injury. Cholowski has picked up three goals and nine assists (12 points) in 27 games with the Griffins.

Cholowski played in the final game before the Red Wings' bye week with Mike Green out but was sent to the AHL over the break. He has two goals with six assists (eight points) in 30 NHL games this season.

Cholowski has scored two goals with three assists (five points) in 17 games with the Griffins this season. Cholowski is expected to replace Mike Green, who is out with an upper-body injury. Cholowski has 24 points (9G / 15A) in 81 career NHL games.

Cholowski has registered just two assists in his last 12 games and his return to the AHL suggests that Jonathan Ericsson and Alex Biega will play on Thursday. Cholowski had 12 assists in 25 games with Grand Rapids a season ago.

The Red Wings coaching staff is reportedly unhappy with how Cholowski has been playing lately, so he'll come out of the lineup on Tuesday. Joe Hicketts was recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL) and will replace Cholowski against the Oilers.

Cholowski missed last Friday's game in Edmonton but will replace Madison Bowey in the lineup on Tuesday. Cholowski has three assists and 10 shots in seven games this season.

It looks like Cholowski is going to be a healthy scratch for the second straight game, with Filip Hronek remaining in the lineup. It seems like an odd decision for a defenseman that is on-pace for 12 goals and 15 assists (27 points) in 79 games.

As expected, the rookie defenseman will draw back into the Red Wings lineup in Montreal. Cholowski has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will replace Danny DeKeyser in tonight’s lineup. He has one goal and two assists in his first three games of his career. Look for him to log massive minutes tonight after averaging 22:10 TOI/GM so far.

Cholowski has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury, but is expected to play on Monday. Jeff Blashill wouldn’t go as far as to confirm Cholowski’s return, but he would replace Danny DeKeyser if he does play. The rookie defenseman has had a great start to his NHL career, picking up one goal on five shots and two assists in three games.

Cholowski missed Thursday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs and will not play vs. the Bruins on Saturday. Cholowski was on the ice for Friday’s practice, but skated on the “fourth-pair.” Head coach Jeff Blashill suggests that Cholowski “might play Monday.”

Cholowski has been great for the Red Wings so far, scoring one goal with two assists while averaging 22:10 TOI/GM in his first three NHL contests. There’s no word when the rookie defenseman suffered the injury, but he will be replaced by Niklas Kronwall vs. Toronto on Thursday.
