The NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes have announced that the team has signed Quinnipiac sophomore defenseman Charles-Alexis Legault to a three-year, entry-level contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharles-Alexis is a physical defenseman who uses his size well,\u201d said Carolina GM Don Waddell in a statement. \u201cHe made great strides in his offensive game this season, and we think he\u2019s ready to continue his development at the professional level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legault posted 24 points (9 goals, 15 assists) in 39 games with Quinnipiac in 2023-24, leading all Bobcats defensemen in goals. He also registered a plus\/minus rating of plus-36, which was the highest mark among all Division I skaters this season.<\/p>\n

Overall, Legault recorded 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) in 79 games over two seasons with Quinnipiac, helping the program win its first-ever national championship in 2022-23.<\/p>\n

The Laval, Que., native was selected by the Hurricanes in the fifth round (139th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
