Top Dennis Cholowski News

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Dishes helper

    Cholowski tallied an assist and a plus-2 rating during Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals.

    Cholowski's second-period blast was redirected by Simon Holmstrom to give the Islanders a 4-2 lead late in the second period. The 26-year-old's two goals and five points in 16 games is putting him on track for a career year, but Cholowski may struggle to secure regular playing time once Adam Pelech (jaw) returns to action.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Picks up helper

    Cholowski provided an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.

    This was Cholowski's second game in a row with an assist. He's earned three points over his last five outings and has a total of two goals and two helpers through 11 appearances. The 26-year-old has added seven shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while seeing limited usage on the third pairing. It looks like Cholowski has gained the edge over Grant Hutton and Travis Mitchell for playing time even with Alexander Romanov back in the lineup.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Tallies second goal of season

    Cholowski scored a goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

    With the Islanders' left side of the defense decimated by injuries, Cholowski has played in seven of the last eight games. He has two goals, four shots on net, five blocked shots and two PIM while averaging a mere 9:22 of ice time. Cholowski looks to be the first man out once Alexander Romanov (upper body) is ready to return, though he may still compete with Grant Hutton for minutes until Mike Reilly (upper body) or Adam Pelech (jaw) returns. With the emergence of Isaiah George, Cholowski could be waived eventually.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Scores goal in season debut

    Cholowski scored a goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers.

    Cholowski made his first appearance of the season Saturday and bagged a first-period goal, though he was fairly quiet the rest of the way. Don't expect the 26-year-old blue-liner to be a reliable source of production, as he's not expected to have a steady role in the defensive pairings in a long-term scenario.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Signs one-year deal

    Cholowski signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Islanders on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

    Cholowski picked up 31 points in 68 games with AHL Bridgeport last season and didn't see any NHL playing time. The defenseman is likely to receive similar usage in 2024-25, with only third-pairing minutes if he draws into an NHL game.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Put on waivers

    Cholowski was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Cholowski recorded a goal and 38 points in 67 contests with AHL Bridgeport in 2022-23. He's contributed 10 goals and 30 points in 117 career NHL games. The 25-year-old will probably start the season back with Bridgeport if he clears waivers.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Returns to AHL

    Cholowski was assigned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.

    Cholowski played in two games with New York following his recall from the minors last Wednesday. He has 17 assists in 35 AHL outings this year. The Islanders activated Adam Pelech (head) from injured reserve in a corresponding move.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Summoned by Islanders

    Cholowski was called up by the Islanders on Wednesday.

    Cholowski has 17 assists in 35 games with AHL Bridgeport this season. The 24-year-old made his Islanders debut, but he does have 10 goals and 30 points in 115 career NHL contests on his resume.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Hits waivers

    Cholowski was waived by the Islanders on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

    Cholowski appeared in 11 games split between the Capitals and the Kraken last season, picking up three helpers over that span. The 24-year-old blueliner will likely spend most of the 2022-23 campaign with AHL Bridgeport.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Inks two-year deal

    Cholowski secured a two-year, two-way contract from the Islanders on Tuesday.

    Cholowski saw action in just 11 NHL games for the Capitals and Kraken last year in which he registered three assists, two PIM and 11 shots while averaging just 15:49 of ice time. Once expected to be a mainstay in the Red Wings' lineup when he was selected 20th overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, the 24-year-old defenseman will likely have to split his time between the NHL and AHL this year, making him a low-end fantasy target at best.

  • Dennis Cholowski: Slated for free agency

    Cholowski will become an unrestricted free agent after failing to receive a qualifying offer from the Kraken on Monday.

    Cholowski logged just four games for Seattle after the team picked him up off the waiver wire. In those contests, the 24-year-old defenseman notched two assists, eight shots and four blocks while averaging 19;43 of ice time. If he signs with an NHL team, Cholowski can probably expect to once again split his time between the NHL and AHL.

  • Kraken's Dennis Cholowski: Sent to Charlotte

    Cholowski was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Monday.

    Cholowski will join the Checkers for their playoff push. He wrapped up the NHL regular season on a two-game assist streak, which pushed Cholowski's point total up to three in 11 games played.

  • Kraken's Dennis Cholowski: Nabs helper

    Cholowski produced an assist in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Cholowski earned assists in each of the last two games of the season. The 24-year-old's playing time was sparse at the NHL level with both the Capitals and the Kraken. He ended the campaign with just 11 appearances, in which he recorded three assists, 11 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating.

  • Kraken's Dennis Cholowski: Collects first assist with new team

    Cholowski notched an assist in Friday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.

    Cholowski, who was selected by the Kraken in their expansion draft in July, spent a large part of the season with the Capitals after he was claimed on waivers. The Kraken claimed him back, and he picked up his first point with the team in his third game. He's at two helpers, 11 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 10 appearances this season. He could be in the lineup again Sunday versus the Jets if Vince Dunn (upper body) isn't cleared to return.

  • Kraken's Dennis Cholowski: Elevated from minors

    Cholowski was brought up from AHL Charlotte on Monday.

    Cholowski has yet to make his Kraken debut after being picked up off waivers back in early February. With his call up to the NHL roster, the 24-year-old blueliner could be inserted into the lineup for at least one of Seattle's last four games in order for team brass to get an up-close look at his game.

  • Kraken's Dennis Cholowski: Claimed by Seattle

    Cholowski was claimed by the Kraken from the Capitals off waivers Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Cholowski has averaged 13:35 of ice time and distributed one assist over seven appearances for Washington in 2021-22. He was claimed off waivers by the Capitals from Seattle in October but did not make an NHL appearance during his previous tenure with the Kraken organization. Cholowski will hope to crack the NHL lineup during his second opportunity in Seattle but is likely to end up primarily playing for AHL Charlotte.

  • Capitals' Dennis Cholowski: Waived Tuesday

    Cholowski was placed on waivers by the Capitals on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    This is the second time this season the 2016 20th overall pick has been waived, as the Capitals claimed him in October from Seattle. If Cholowski passes through unclaimed, he'll likely head to AHL Hershey.

  • Capitals' Dennis Cholowski: Returns from protocols

    The Capitals activated Cholowski from COVID-19 protocols Friday.

    The defenseman is back with the team after being in protocols since Dec. 27. Cholowski, who has an assist in five NHL games this season, doesn't figure to enter the lineup this weekend unless any regular defensemen become unavailable.

  • Capitals' Dennis Cholowski: Gets on scoresheet with helper

    Cholowski logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Jets.

    Cholowski's first point as a Capital came on Conor Sheary's go-ahead goal in the third period. Opportunities to play have been limited for Cholowski, who has one helper, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in five appearances this season. With Trevor van Riemsdyk likely back in the lineup Sunday against the Kings after sitting Friday's game out due to border-crossing restrictions, Cholowski's time in the lineup could be limited.
