The winger suffered the non-contact injury Thursday night in a 5-2 Canes win over the Minnesota Wild. Pacioretty was helped off the ice and couldn’t put any weight on his right leg.
The American underwent surgery for the same injury on Aug. 10, 2022 and had returned two weeks ago.
The Hurricanes announced that they had placed Pacioretty on injured reserve earlier on Friday.
Pacioretty has only played five games with Carolina since getting traded from the Vegas Golden Knights last summer.
