Cholowski was picked by the Kraken in the expansion draft but they lost him to the Capitals on waivers in October. Re-claiming him means they are able to send him to the AHL. Cholowski has one assist in seven games this season.
Fox missed the final three games before the All-Star break but was activated from IR on Wednesday, suggesting he'll play in the Rangers' next game. New York is off for the rest of this week, so look for him to play next Tuesday vs. the Bruins.
Fox suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's loss in Columbus and will miss at least one week after landing on IR on Friday. This means Fox will be out until after the All-Star break. Nils Lundkvist has been recalled to the active roster.
Blidh was hurt vs. the Capitals last Thursday but will be back in the lineup on Wednesday. Blidh will replace Nick Foligno, who was hurt vs. the Ducks on Monday. Blidh, who will be back on the fourth line, has two goals and six assists (eight points) in 20 games.
