Detroit — At polar opposite ends of their NHL careers, Niklas Kronwall and Dennis Cholowski were part of opposite deliveries on Thursday night.
Kronwall, the 38-year-old Swede, delivered one of his signature hits late in a 3-2 win against Ottawa, while Cholowski was on the wrong end of some news after the game.
Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill informed Cholowski that he was headed back to Grand Rapids after previously spending his entire rookie season in Detroit.
“We’re doing everything we can to best develop him for next fall and be the very, very best player he can be walking into camp,” Blashill said Friday.
