Dennis Cholowski News

Grant Hutton will be a healthy scratch on Saturday, allowing Cholowski to re-enter the lineup. The 26-year-old Cholowski has played well when called upon this season, averaging 12:11 time-on-ice, recording six points (2G / 4A), and a +5 plus/minus.

Cholowski will be the odd-man out on the Isles blue line when they travel to Montreal to take on the Canadiens on Tuesday. Cholowski has two goals and four assists in 17 games this season.

Alexander Romanov (upper-body) will make his return from a three-game absence on Friday, sending Cholowski to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Cholowski was thrust into the lineup due to Romanov's injury and recording one point (1G / 0A) in three games.

Cholowski spent the entire 2024 season in Bridgeport (AHL), where he had 31 points (7G / 24A) in 68 games. Since signing with the Islanders prior to the 2023 season, Cholowski has appeared in just two NHL games but has eight goals and 61 assists (69 points) in 135 AHL games. Expect him to continue to provide offence at the AHL-level and be one of the first names the Islanders consider when they need help on their NHL blueline.

Cholowski failed to pick up a point across two-games for the Islanders and heads back to Bridgeport (AHL) Monday. The 24-year-old had 17 assists, in 35 games with 12 PIMs in Bridgeport prior to his promotion.

Cholowski has 17 assists, 12 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 35 games with Bridgeport (AHL) and has been recalled for the first time this season to New York. Cholowski has played in 115 career NHL games, with 10 goals, and 30 points across that span.

Cholowski was picked by the Kraken in the expansion draft but they lost him to the Capitals on waivers in October. Re-claiming him means they are able to send him to the AHL. Cholowski has one assist in seven games this season.

Cholowski played just 9:57 TOI in his Capitals debut on Sunday while suiting up as a seventh defenseman. On Friday, he'll replace Justin Schultz, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

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.
