So in examining the win streak, let’s start there:
1. If you were to hand-pick a couple key necessities going into this season that would make the Red Wings’ rebuilding progress tangible, developing a legitimate top-four defenseman from their prospect group would be high up on the list. Yes, there were likable players in the pool, but no locks to emerge. That Dennis Cholowski remains on that trajectory is more important than any winning streak.
During the Red Wings’ eight-game run of success, Cholowski is averaging close to 19 minutes of ice time and has three points.
