Last summer, Harold Washington Jr. picked up his first hockey stick as part of the Red Wings Learn, Play, Score program.

The Washington Capitals became the third NHL team to give up on the young defenseman, exposing him on waivers. He was claimed by the Seattle Kraken, who ditched Cholowski at the start of the

The Detroit Red Wings had jump — and a bit of rust — as they returned to action after a weeklong break. After trading scoring chances early with the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center, the Wings outplayed them to earn a 6-3 victory. It’s only the second time in their past 16 tries
