Cholowski, 23, began the season on Detroit's taxi squad before being assigned to the Griffins, where he has contributed eight points (3-5-8) in 11 games. He posted a four-game point streak from Feb. 18-28 and is currently tied for ninth among AHL defensemen in scoring.

Over three seasons as a pro, Cholowski has totaled 67 games as a Griffin (6-27-33) and 88 more as a Red Wing (9-15-24). Last season, the 20th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft contributed eight points (2-6-8) in 36 games with the parent club and another 13 (3-10-13) in 30 contests with Grand Rapids.

With the postponement of tonight's scheduled home game due to league COVID-19 protocols affecting the Chicago Wolves, the Griffins will return to action on Saturday when they visit the Cleveland Monsters at 7 p.m. Fans can watch the game via a subscription to AHLTV or tune in to Newsradio WOOD 106.9 FM/1300 AM.
