Zach Senyshyn makes his season debut

Another Providence forward who found his way to Boston was Zach Senyshyn.

Senyshyn didn’t have the best start to this season production-wise. It took him almost 10 games to score his first goal of the season in Providence.

Nonetheless, although the production wasn’t there, Senyshyn wasn’t all that bad in Providence. In fact, he was pretty good.

He scored his second goal of the season against Utica, and this helped Senyshyn earn a callup to Boston on Tuesday. He made his season debut in Montreal against the Canadiens.

Senyshyn played on a line with Charlie Coyle and Anders Bjork. In only the third game of his NHL career, he looked like a capable pro.

Senyshyn played almost 11 minutes against the Canadiens, and he picked up two assists. He almost had a third assist, but the referees disallowed Coyle’s goal in the third period.

All in all, Senyshyn was impressive in Montreal, enough so that he’ll stay in Boston for the time being. That’s a good thing because the Bruins could use some offensive talent on the right wing.

When the Bruins drafted Senyshyn in the same first round as Zboril, analysts and fans alike scratched their heads. They felt Boston overdrafted Senyshyn, and some almost immediately labeled him a bust.

He took some time to develop, but it does seem like Senyshyn has a future in Boston. He’s a powerful skater who has the talent to contribute offensively. Let’s hope he makes the most of this chance in Boston.

Next. Still the same Chara after 1,500 games. dark

Providence embarks on a rare stretch with three games in three nights that starts Saturday in Bridgeport. Then, the have home games against Hartford and Bridgeport again.

The Baby B’s will probably be without Senyshyn and Peter Cehlarik, so let’s hope some other guys can step up.
