Impact Cholowski has four points over his last six outings, and he continues to log time on the second power-play unit. The 26-year-old defenseman has helped the Islanders weather the storm with injuries on the blue line. He's at eight points -- his most in a season since 2019-20 -- with 19 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 21 appearances. Once Adam Pelech (jaw) is ready to return, the last spot on defense will likely come down to Cholowski or rookie Isaiah George.
