Detroit — Dennis Cholowski is taking a different approach this time around.
Instead of worrying about and critiquing his every play on the ice, wondering what the Red Wings’ front office and coaching staff are thinking, Cholowski has altered his mindset.
“I’m kind of more calm,” Cholowski said during a Monday Zoom chat with media. “Mentally I just think about going out and playing each shift and not worrying about too much.”
Cholowski, 23, was the Wings’ first-round pick in 2016. In the two previous seasons, he was able to make the opening night roster, only to see defensive issues and declining offensive numbers as the seasons progressed.
