The New York Islanders waived Dennis Cholowski on Thursday afternoon. Cholowski, 27, played 33 games this season, recording three goals and 10 points. The move had been widely anticipated in the wake of Scott Mayfield and Ryan Pulock’s return to practice.
After 10 days off, the New York Islanders returned to practice following a well-earned break. Ryan Pulock and Scott Mayfield returned to practice and looked sharp. Pulock wore a non-contact injury, so his return time is still in the air.
