Cehlarik appeared in 20 regular season for the B’s last season, posting four goals and two assists for six points. Cehlarik also appeared in 53 regular season games for Providence last year, posting 12 goals and 26 assists for 38 points. He also appeared in four playoff games for Providence, scoring a goal. Zboril, the former first round pick of the B’s in 2015 appeared in two regular season games for the Bruins last year. He appeared in 56 games for Providence last season, recording four goals and 15 assists for 19 points. He also appeared in four postseason games, going scoreless.

Nordstrom signed with the Bruins in the summer of 2018 as a free agent. He appeared in 70 regular season games in Boston last year, posting seven goals and five assists for 12 points. The Stockholm, Sweden native appeared in 23 playoff games for the B’s last season recording three goals and five assists for eight points. These moves shouldn’t be a huge problem for the Bruins as the team has plenty of guys to step in for Nordstrom. There’s also a very good chance both Cehlarik and Zboril see time in Boston yet again this season.
