Cholowski was summoned by the Devils on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cholowski has three assists in nine outings with AHL Utica in 2025-26. He also has an assist in 15 appearances with New Jersey. It remains to be seen if the Devils just have him up to participate in practices during the Olympic break or if Cholowski will remain with the team when New Jersey's schedule resumes next Wednesday against Buffalo.

Cholowski was placed on waivers by the Devils on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils will send Cholowski to AHL Utica, should he pass through waivers. The veteran blueliner has never established himself in the NHL, despite being selected 20th overall by Detroit in 2016. Cholowski has played 15 games at the NHL level this season, garnering one assist.

Cholowski was scratched in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Cholowski has sat out eight of the Devils' last 13 games after being a regular in the lineup in early November. With Brett Pesce (upper body) back in action, Cholowski will be left to contend with Colton White for one spot in the lineup. Over 15 games this year, Cholowski has one assist, 10 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating, so he won't be a factor in fantasy even if he gets a run of playing time.

Cholowski registered an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Cholowski made his season debut Saturday, stepping into the lineup for Seamus Casey, who was a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old Cholowski had 10 points over 39 appearances between the Devils and the Islanders in 2024-25, so there's a little scoring potential for him. The veteran blueliner is on a one-way contract in 2025-26 -- there's no benefit for the Devils to stash him at AHL Utica, but he's best positioned to serve as a rotational option on the third pairing rather than being a lineup regular.

Cholowski signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with New Jersey on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cholowski had three goals, seven assists, 30 shots on net and 33 blocked shots across 39 regular-season outings between New Jersey and the Islanders in 2024-25. The 27-year-old will probably be a depth defender for the Devils in 2025-26, but he may not be a regular in the lineup.

Cholowski was scratched for the fifth straight game in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Cholowski played in five of the first 10 games after he was traded from the Islanders. The 27-year-old defenseman has since slipped out of the lineup, with Seamus Casey stepping up to control the last spot on the blue line. Cholowski hasn't earned a point with the Devils, but he has 10 points, 28 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 38 appearances.

Cholowski was traded to the Devils from the Islanders on Friday in exchange for Adam Beckman.
EDGE Analysis
Cholowski has made 33 appearances for the Islanders this season, logging three goals, seven assists, 30 blocked shots and 10 PIM while averaging 12:48 of ice time. However, he's been in the AHL since Feb. 20 and could remain in the minors following Friday's trade.

Cholowsli was put on waivers by the Islanders on Thursday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
EDGE Analysis
The Islanders have four defensemen on injured reserve, including Scott Mayfield (lower body), Ryan Pulock (upper body), Noah Dobson (lower body) and Mike Reilly (chest). Pulock and Mayfield are due back this weekend, giving the Islanders eight healthy defensemen. The Islanders need to send someone to the minors and Cholowski will need to pass through waivers for that to occur. Cholowski has three goals, seven assists and 30 blocked shots over 33 appearances this season.
