Peter Cehlarik is a talented player. Despite shining in his first two games in the NHL, however, he was faced with some scrutiny in the games following the Boston Bruins’ bye-week. For Cehlarik, consistency has been an issue. In his defense, he is still a rookie, and through 10 games in his NHL career, mistakes will be made.
In the games that Cehlarik has played in, he’s displayed distinct dynamic flashes. His heads-up passes, ability to keep the puck on his stick and instant chemistry with David Krejci and David Pastrnak were impossible to ignore. It all comes back to the 21-year-olds hockey IQ.
