Cernak chipped in two assists to help lead OHL Erie to a 6-4 win over Saginaw on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cernak was limited to just 41 games in his first OHL season due to various injuries. He put up just 15 points in those 41 contests, although part of that is due to the fact he plays for one of the deepest squads in all of junior hockey. Cernak will making his living as a big, strong, stay-at-home defender at the NHL level, but he has better hands than most give him credit for. The 2015 second-round pick has the tools to become one of the better defenders in the OHL next season.
