Avalanche's Domenick Fensore: Hits waiver wire
Fensore was put on waivers by the Avalanche on Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Fensore has been knocking on the NHL door for a couple of seasons now without a full-time job to show for it. Unless another team pounces on waivers, expect him to spend the vast majority of 2026-27 in the minors.

Avalanche's Domenick Fensore: Inks one-year contract
Fensore signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday.
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 blocked shots. 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.

Domenick Fensore: Doesn't receive qualifying offer
Fensore didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Hurricanes and will become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
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.

Fensore scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Chicago's 4-2 win over Milwaukee on Saturday.
Fensore has been bouncing between levels this season due to the Hurricanes' numerous injuries on the blue line. Following his most recent NHL stint, he returned to the AHL with three scoreless outings before breaking out of the slump Saturday. He's at four goals, 14 helpers and a plus-7 rating across 20 appearances for the Wolves and will be the next man up whenever there's a concern on Carolina's blue line.

Hurricanes' Domenick Fensore: Back up with big club
Fensore was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday.
Fensore was sent to the minors Saturday, but he's back with the big club in short order. The 24-year-old has appeared in one game with the Hurricanes this season, posting a minus-2 rating while receiving 19:22 of ice time in a loss to the Golden Knights on Oct. 28. The 2019 third-round selection could remain with Carolina until Shayne Gostisbehere (abdomen) is ready to return to the lineup.

Hurricanes' Domenick Fensore: Recalled by Carolina
Fensore was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday.
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.

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

Hurricanes' Domenick Fensore: 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.
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.

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