Cehlarik tries to make an impact

Peter Cehlarik was one of Boston’s last cuts of training camp. He required waivers given his professional experience, but fortunately he cleared and reported to Providence.

Cehlarik played off and on with Boston over the past three seasons. He played 20 games for Boston last year, and this gives him 37 total NHL games under his belt. He has five goals and five assists in these games.

When he first came up from the minors, Cehlarik looked decent on David Krejci’s left wing. Since then, he has been unable to find his consistency. Cehlarik’s a big body with good hands, and there are times when he looks like he belongs in the NHL. There are, however, times when he struggles to keep up with the pace of the game.

The time is now for Cehlarik impression and earn a spot with Boston. Boston has a strong group of forward prospects who could pass Cehlarik at some point this season. Also, according to Cap Friendly, Cehlarik only has one year left on his contract.

Cehlarik will get a chance in the NHL at some point this year. He’s probably one of the first callups if there’s an injury. For now, he’ll get a chance to continue his growth in Providence. His season won’t start yet, as Mark Divver reports Cehlark suffered an injury at practice.
