While playing with the Wheat Kings, Quenneville was rated as a top prospect who was viewed as a possible first round selection heading into the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.[3][4] He was eventually drafted 30th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

On July 13, 2015, Quenneville signed a three-year entry level contract with the Devils,[5] and after concluding his WHL career that season he subsequently joined the Albany Devils for the 2016–17 season. He made his NHL debut on December 1, 2016, against the Chicago Blackhawks.[6] On January 5, 2017, Quennville was named to the 2017 AHL All-Star Classic, along with Joseph Blandisi.[7] He was recalled to the NHL on March 15, 2017,[8] and scored his first NHL goal in a 3–2 overtime win over the New York Rangers on March 21, 2017.[9]

On June 22, 2019, Quenneville was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for John Hayden.[10] On June 28, the Blackhawks signed Quenneville to a two-year contract extension.[11]

As a 16-year-old, Quenneville was chosen to compete with the Canada Pacific squad at the 2013 World U-17 Hockey Challenge,[12] and he helped Team Canada capture the bronze medal at the 2014 IIHF World U18 Championships.[13]
