The Detroit Red Wings are expected to keep a handful of young players up with the big club this season. Dennis Cholowski had a phenomenal camp. Cholowski skated himself into a Red Wings regular displaying his ability to glide out of trouble.
Cholowski is an offensively gifted defenseman who will be running the top power-play unit opening night for the Detroit Red Wings with the absence of Mike Green. Niklas Kronwall is the other option to head man the point and will also see time on the PP.
Cholowski can skate his way through traffic without panic and feather a lead pass to a breaking forward.
