Chlapik was a second-round pick in 2015 and has appeared in just one game with the Senators this season. Chlapik was on a one-year contract with a $735K cap-hit but is now a free agent after having his contract terminated.
Chlapik scored a goal in 13:18 TOI in the Senators' loss in Nashville on Tuesday. His demotion suggests that Anthony Duclair will be back in the lineup on Thursday.
Anthony Duclair was hurt last night and is not expected to play tonight, so Chlapik comes back up. The 22-year-old has two goals and three assists (five points) in 30 games this season.
Chlapik appeared in the last five games before the Senators' bye week, where he failed to record a point in 11:19 ATOI. With Ottawa getting back in action on Monday, Chlapik returns from Belleville, where he has 14 points (5G / 9A) in 24 games.
Chlapik played last night in Vancouver and returns to the AHL, where he has one goal in six games this season. Chlapik's demotion suggests that J.C. Beaudin will be back in the lineup on Wednesday.
Chlapik appeared in three straight games but will be scratched with Artem Anisimov returning from a lower-body injury. Chlapik failed to record a point in his three games.
The Senators have five days off between games so they sent Chlapik back to the AHL to get some salary savings. The 22-year-old has one goal in six AHL games this season and returns to the Senators where he has one assist in two games.
The Senators don't play again until Saturday so it is entirely possible that Chlapik returns to the Senators prior to their game in Boston. The 22-year-old bumped Bobby Ryan from the lineup on Sunday but failed to record a point while playing just 6:06 TOI. He has one goal in six games with Belleville.
Chlapik had an assist in 5:20 TOI in his season debut and was a healthy scratch in the second game of the season. He heads to Belleville, where he had 16 goals and 18 assists (34 points) in 57 games last season.
Chlapik had one assist in just 5:20 TOI in the Senators season opener. Chlapik took a bad penalty in the contest though and will be replaced by Mikkel Boedker on Saturday.
The Senators are expected to rest Matt Duchene on Thursday, so Chlapik gets his first call-up of the season. The 21-year-old, former second-round pick has 15 goals and 15 assists (30 points) in 41 games with Belleville this season.
Chlapik, 21, was close to making the Senators opening night roster, but was one of their final cuts this weekend. The former second-round pick had just four points (1G / 3A) in 20 NHL games a year ago and picked up 32 (11G / 21A) in 52 games in Belleville.
Chlapik, 20, has 30 points (10G / 20A) in 50 games with Belleville this season and has picked up two assists in 10 games with Ottawa. Chlapik will likely draw into the Senators lineup on Tuesday.
Chlapik did not appear in a game during this call-up but has two assists in 10 games with the Senators so far this season. The 20-year-old returns to Belleville where he has 16 points (6G / 10A) in 31 games this season.
