Bruins' Peter Cehlarik: Headed to AHL

The Bruins assigned Cehlarik (lower body) to AHL Providence on Wednesday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

Cehlarik's demotion comes on the heels of an impressive performance from Karson Kuhlman, who notched his first career NHL goal Monday against San Jose and likely prevented him from being a roster casualty following the addition of Ryan Donato. There's a decent chance Cehalrik will rejoin the Bruins down the road, but he will now focus on recovering to return for AHL Providence.
