After two seasons with the Greyhounds, he was traded to the Owen Sound Attack in August 2011 in exchange for Andrew Fritsch, Michael Schumacher and a second-round draft pick.[2][3]

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 reassigned to Rochester on February 19.[8] On March 1, 2016, Catenacci was once again recalled by the Sabres.[9] He finished the season playing in 11 games with Buffalo, scoring no points.
During the 2016–17 season, Catenacci was dealt by the Sabres at the trade deadline to the New York Rangers in exchange for defenseman Mat Bodie on February 28, 2017.[10]
As a free agent from the Rangers, following parts of two seasons with the club, Catenacci left North America after his first 6 professional seasons in agreeing to a one-year contract with Italian club, HCB South Tyrol of the EBEL on July 19, 2018.[11]
