Catenacci was drafted in the third round, 77th overall, by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He made his professional debut with the Rochester Americans during the 2013 American Hockey League playoffs.[4]

On February 5, 2016, Catenacci was recalled from the minors by the Sabres.[5] He made his debut with the Sabres the next night in a game against the Boston Bruins.[6] In his third game, against the Philadelphia Flyers, Catenacci was injured by a check from Radko Gudas.[7] After spending a week on the injured reserve list, Catenacci was re-assigned to Rochester on February 19.[8]
