Czarnik was signed by the Boston Bruins as an undrafted free agent March 31, 2015. He played four seasons of NCAA Division I hockey for the Miami RedHawks (2011-15) and made the CCHA All-Conference First Team after he had 40 points (14 goals, 26 assists) in 42 games as a sophomore in 2012-13.
​
Before the start of his junior season, the 5-foot-9 center was named captain and responded with 47 points (13 goals, 34 assists) in 37 games. He helped Miami make the NCAA Tournament during his senior year.
​
Although Czarnik made the Bruins roster prior to the 2016-17 season, he was reassigned to Providence of the American Hockey League after going scoreless in two games and being a healthy scratch for another. Upon his return to fill in for an injured David Backes, Czarnik scored his first NHL goal in a 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers on Oct. 26, 2016. He played 10 games for Boston in 2017-18 and 64 in Providence, where he had 69 points (25 goals, 44 assists).
