Peter Cehlarik kicked off the 2018-2019 campaign with a strong preseason. There was speculation that he may actually make the team out of training camp, but he ended up being cut close to the beginning of the regular season.
He was sent down with the assumption of being one of the “first men up” in the event of an injury, and he got that chance in mid-January. Cehlarik made an impact immediately, scoring twice in his first game. Finally, it seemed, the 2013 3rd-round pick had arrived.
Since then, it’s been a season of fits and starts for Cehlarik.
