Except for a couple of games earlier in the season when he had a little injury, rookie defenseman Dennis Cholowski had played in every game until Jan. 20.
That was when Blashill put rookie Filip Hronek back in the lineup and Cholowski sat as a healthy scratch.
"I think you can learn a lot actually, sitting and watching a few games," Cholowski said. "That was basically what they wanted me to do. Played every game so far and haven't really had a chance to sit back and watch a few games and learn what I can do in different areas.
