Cehlárik played four junior seasons in his native Slovakia before continuing his development in Sweden. He made his Elitserien debut playing with Luleå HF during the 2012–13 Elitserien season.[1] He helped the team win the Champions Hockey League during the 2014–15 season.[2]
After playing 132 games, adding 22 goals and 49 points throughout four seasons with Luleå, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins on 16 June 2016.[3] He made his NHL debut on 11 February 2017 against the Vancouver Canucks.[4] He played 11 games for Boston Bruins before returning to Providence Bruins.[5]
Cehlárik scored his first NHL goal on 18 November 2017 with the Bruins as the first Boston goal in a road game against the San Jose Sharks, in what would become a 3–1 Boston victory.[6][7]
After Cehlárik was left off Boston's Return to Play roster as an impending restricted free agent from the Bruins, Cehlárik halted his North American career and signed a two-year contract with Swedish club, Leksands IF of the SHL, on 17 August 2020.[8]
After a lone season in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) with Avangard Omsk in 2021–22, Cehlárik opted to move to Switzerland in agreeing to a two-year contract with EV Zug of the National League (NL) on 24 May 2022.[9]
In the 2022–23 season, Cehlárik in a top-six scoring role, scored 6 goals and 24 points through 38 regular season games, before opting to leave Switzerland and immediately return to former club, Leksands IF of the SHL, signing a contract until 2026 on 8 February 2023.[10]
