Playing career

Fensore played collegiate hockey with the Boston University Terriers in the Hockey East, before he was signed by the Carolina Hurricanes to a two-year, entry-level contract on April 15, 2023.[1]

Fensore played the final two regular season games of the 2024–25 NHL season for the Hurricanes, making his NHL debut against the Montreal Canadiens on April 16, 2025.[2]

He was signed by the Hurricanes to a one-year contract extension for the 2025–26 season on July 16, 2025.[3] Assigned to continue his tenure in the AHL with the Wolves, Fensore recorded a career-high 35 points across 60 games.[4] He led the blueline in assists, leading to his selection to the AHL All-Star Game. He was recalled to the Hurricanes once during the season and made a lone appearance in a 6-3 defeat to the Vegas Golden Knights on October 28, 2025.[5] In the post-season with the Wolves, Fensore appeared in 18 Calder Cup playoff games, collecting 6 points on route to the Calder Cup Finals.

As a pending restricted free agent, Fensore was not tendered a qualifying offer and was released as a free agent.[6] On July 1, 2026, Fensore was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Colorado Avalanche for the 2026–27 season.[7]
