The Utah Mammoth announced Thursday that Caleb Desnoyers underwent successful wrist surgery. The 2025 fourth overall pick is expected to miss 12 weeks.

Before getting drafted by the Mammoth in June, Desnoyers played in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League with the Moncton Wildcats. The 18-year-old had a productive season — posting 84 points (35 goals, 49 assists) in 56 regular-season games and 30 points (nine goals, 21 assists) in 19 playoff games en route to the QMJHL championship. But he battled through injury the majority of the time.

Desnoyers revealed that he had been playing with injuries to both wrists since November.
