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.

With Max Pacioretty and Will Carrier returning on Wednesday and Adam Brooks emerging, the Golden Knights have returned three forwards to the AHL. Cotter had two goals in six games with Vegas and has four goals in 10 AHL games this season.

Returning Willman to the AHL suggests that Derick Brassard could be back on Friday. Willman did not have a point in six games with the Flyers and has seven goals and two assists (nine points) in 12 AHL games.

Bastian was selected in the expansion draft but returns to New Jersey on waivers. Bastian has scored one goal with one assist in 12 games with Seattle.

MacDermid, who has played 123 career games on the blueline, will move to forward on Wednesday. The 6-foot-5, 233 lbs. bruiser will replace Kieffer Sherwood and skate on Colorado's fourth line.

Hughes participated in a limited capacity and a non-contact jersey on Monday. Hughes wasn't expected to be back until early December, best-case scenario, so this seems to suggest that he is on track in his recovery.

Allen will likely miss his fourth straight game on Saturday, meaning Samuel Montembeault will likely start vs. the Predators. Keeping him out on Saturday gives Allen an extra three days rest ahead of next Wednesday's game in Washington.
