Hurricanes rookie Charles Alexis Legault has surgery to repair torn tendons after skate cut injury

Carolina Hurricanes rookie defenseman Charles Alexis Legault had surgery to repair multiple torn extensor tendons in his right hand after getting cut by a skate blade at Toronto

NOVEMBER 11 • Associated Press

Undergoes surgery Legault was placed on injured reserve Tuesday after having a procedure Monday to repair several torn extensor tendons on his right hand.

Impact A scary incident unfolded in Toronto on Sunday during which Legault was cut by Nicholas Robertson's skate in the first period. Legault is now on the road to recovery, and the Hurricanes relayed that he is expected to miss 3-4 months. That timeline will likely keep him out past the 2026 Winter Olympics, so the 22-year-old is now set for an extended absence in his first NHL campaign. Legault registered one goal, one assist and a plus-4 rating over eight appearances prior to sustaining his injury.

Admitted to hospital Sunday Legault (hand) went to the hospital to receive treatment after being cut by a skate during Sunday's 5-4 win in Toronto, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site

Impact According to Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer, head coach Rod Brind'Amour said postgame that Legault's laceration doesn't look good, so the 2023 fifth-round selection might be set to miss a significant amount of time. The 22-year-old will travel with the team back to Raleigh and be re-evaluated Monday. Carolina's blue line is extremely banged up -- Legault is now one of four defensemen dealing with an injury. It wouldn't be surprising to see Domenick Fensore, who has bounced between the AHL and NHL a few times this season, recalled from the minors in the near future as a result of Legault's injury.

Cut by skate, won't return to game Legault (hand) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest in Toronto.

Impact Legault's hand was cut by a skate during the first period. The defenseman registered two PIM and one hit in 7:15 of ice time prior to exiting the game. The Hurricanes are already dealing with multiple injuries on the blue line, so if Legault is forced to miss any additional time, which seems likely given the nature of his injury, Gavin Bayreuther, who was recalled from AHL Chicago on Saturday, would presumably be pressed into the lineup.

Earns first two points Saturday Legault scored an empty-net goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM, logged two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.

Impact Legault helped out on an Eric Robinson tally in the third period before adding the second empty-netter himself to check off multiple firsts in his NHL career. The 22-year-old Legault has played a larger role than expected in 2025-26 due to numerous injuries on the Hurricanes' blue line. In addition to his two points, he's collected 10 shots, eight hits, six blocks, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating over seven appearances. He'll likely stay with the big club until at least one of Jaccob Slavin (lower body), Shayne Gostisbehere (abdomen) or Jalen Chatfield (upper body) can return.

Recalled Wednesday Legault was promoted from AHL Chicago on Wednesday.

Impact Legault will rejoin the Hurricanes just a few days after getting sent down. He will supplement the team's depth after Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) sustained a new injury in Tuesday's contest against the Golden Knights.

Placed back in minors Legault has been returned to AHL Chicago by the Hurricanes on Sunday, according to the official AHL website.

Impact Legault has appeared in each of the Hurricanes' last three games, albeit in a sheltered role. The 22-year-old doesn't have a point but does have a plus-1 rating while averaging just 11:53 of ice time. His move to the AHL likely means some good news is on the way for one or more of Carolina's NHL defensemen that are currently out with injury, a list that presently includes K'Andre Miller, Jaccob Slavin and Shayne Gostisbehere.

Hurricanes Recall Defenseman Charles Alexis Legault, Place Pyotr Kochetkov On IR The Carolina Hurricanes have recalled defenseman Charles Alexis Legault from the Chicago Wolves of the AHL.

OCTOBER 14 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM

Summoned from minors Legault was brought up from AHL Chicago on Monday.

Impact Pyotr Kochetkov was placed on injured reserve in a related move to free up a spot for Legault on the roster. Jaccob Slavin is being evaluated for a lower-body injury, which resulted in Legault being summoned from the minors. The 22-year-old Legault registered five PIM and a plus-2 rating in his lone appearance with the Wolves this season. He has yet to make his NHL debut.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to Chicago (AHL) Legault was assigned to Chicago (AHL) by Carolina on Monday.

Impact Despite a strong training camp, Legault will begin the season with AHL Chicago, where he served as one of the team's defensive anchors last year. With a mix of both size and offensive upside, he'll be one to watch early as he's likely just an injury or two away from getting a chance with the big club.
