K’Andre Miller will be a game-time decision due to illness, and Fensore was called up to provide additional support on the blueline.
The 24-year-old has appeared in one NHL game this season, alongside 17 appearances in the AHL, where he’s totalled three goals and 12 assists. On April 16, Fensore skated in his NHL debut and appeared in only one additional game last season.
The defenceman was drafted in the third round of the 2019 draft by the Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes and Maple Leafs square off at the Lenovo Centre at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT.
