In Chicago, the defender so impressed that he was hired for the following season by the Chicago Black Hawks from the National Hockey League . With the Black Hawks, the Canadian developed into a solid defensive player who, despite his relatively small height and weight, had a good body check . He stayed a total of five seasons in the "Windy City" , mostly played on the defensive with Taffy Abel and served as the fourth team captain in franchise history in the 1931/32 season . At this time the defender began to discover his offensive game and with 13 points scored more than ever before.

Before the start of the 1932/33 game year , Wentworth's time in Chicago ended abruptly when he was sold to league rivals Montreal Maroons in late October 1932 for $ 10,000 . In the Maroons Wentworth continued the positive development of his game and was able to increase his point yield in his debut season by one point. Over the years, the defender has developed into a leading player on the defensive, which ultimately played a key role in ensuring that Montreal at the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 1935 for the first time in nine years the Stanley Cup won. Wentworth and his teammate Baldy Northcott finished the playoffs as top scorer. In addition, Wentworth was appointed to the NHL Second All-Star Team .

With the cessation of game operations at the Maroons due to financial problems before the start of the 1938/39 season , the defensive player - like numerous other players - was sold to city rivals Canadiens de Montréal . There Wentworth let his career fade out in the following two seasons, before he retired from active sport in the summer of 1940 at the age of 35. In the course of his career Wentworth came to a total of 610 NHL missions, in which he scored 118 times. In addition to a Stanley Cup victory and the election to the Second All-Star Team of the league, he also took part in the two previous games of the NHL All-Star Games - the Howie Morenz Memorial Game in 1937 and the Babe Siebert Memorial Game two years later - part.
