Fensore joins the Hurricanes' blueline after a hot start, while Legault heads back to the AHL. Can Fensore provide the missing offensive spark?

The Carolina Hurricanes have made a swap of blueliner callups as the team has recalled Domenick Fensore from the Chicago Wolves and subsequently reassigned Charles Alexis Legault back to the AHL.

Fensore, 24, has three goals and seven points for the Wolves in just four games to start the year. The 5-foot-7 defenseman, who appeared in two NHL games last season, has 110 games of AHL experience under his belt and has been strong on both sides of the puck.

With the Hurricanes missing three of their regulars on the backend, the team is hoping that Fensore can help provide a little more of that missing pop.

Legault, 22, was the Canes' first callup this season and played his first three career NHL games.

In those games, Legault averaged 11:53 of ice time with four shots, four blocks, two hits and two penalties.

The Hurricanes will host the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday at Lenovo Center.
