Domenick Fensore - NHL News & Rumors

Inks one-year contract Fensore signed a one-year contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Impact Fensore had 10 goals, 35 points and 37 PIM in 60 regular-season appearances with AHL Chicago in 2025-26. The 24-year-old has also logged three career regular-season NHL games, recording no points, two PIM, four hits and six blocks. Fensore doesn't appear to have a path to an Opening Night roster spot with the Avalanche, so he'll likely head to the minors after participating in training camp.

Impact Fensore has seen minimal playing time for the Hurricanes across the past two campaigns, making just three regular-season appearances during that time. He spent most of his time with AHL Chicago across that span, and he racked up 10 goals, 25 assists and 37 PIM over 60 regular-season appearances in the minors during the 2025-26 campaign. He'll now attempt to seek out other opportunities during the offseason.

Recalled by Carolina Fensore was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday.

Impact Fensore made his NHL debut last year by making two appearances for the Hurricanes in mid-April, and he'll rejoin the Hurricanes after Charles-Alexis Legault was sent down Sunday. He's gotten off to a hot start in the minors, recording three goals, four assists and a minus-2 rating over four AHL appearances to begin the year.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cruising for Wolves Fensore scored twice on four shots in AHL Chicago's 4-3 overtime win over Manitoba on Saturday.

Impact Fensore is up to three goals and seven points over four games to begin the year for the Wolves. The 24-year-old defenseman made two NHL appearances in 2024-25. Considering the Hurricanes' precarious injury situation on the blue line, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a call-up if K'Andre Miller (lower body) misses more time than expected. However, Fensore appears to be behind Charles-Alexis Legault and Joel Nystrom for promotions at this early stage of the campaign, as both of those blueliners are currently helping the NHL team patch holes.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two points in minor-league game Fensore scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in AHL Chicago's 4-1 win over Iowa on Saturday.

Impact Fensore had 32 points over 67 regular-season games a year ago, and he earned his first two NHL appearances at the tail end of 2024-25. He'll likely need to a show a little more on offense to be a realistic call-up candidate for the Hurricanes this year, though that opportunity won't surface if Carolina's defense corps stays healthy.

Secures two-way deal Fensore signed a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Wednesday.

Impact Fensore appeared in just two NHL games last year in which he generated five shots, three hits and two PIM while being held off the scoresheet. The Boston University product was significantly more productive in the minors with nine goals and 23 helpers in 67 regular-season tilts with AHL Chicago. While the 2019 third-round pick could see a little more action with the Canes this year, he figures once again to spend the bulk of his minutes in the minors.
