RALEIGH, NC – Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has recalled forward Zac Dalpe from the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League (AHL). Rutherford also announced that forward Drayson Bowman has been reassigned to Charlotte.
Look for Dalpe to replace Jussi Jokinen on a scoring line once he gets his timing back. In the meantime, he probably starts on the fourth line.
Forward Zac Dalpe has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since the Canes' Oct. 14 game against the Buffalo Sabres. Dalpe has returned to practice and Canes coach Paul Maurice said Tuesday he was close to being back in full-contact work.
Dalpe is a young guy with 20 career games under his belt, and 4 points, so let's wait and see how he performs first.
Forward Zac Dalpe, out since Oct. 14 with a lower-body injury, was out of the yellow, non-contact jersey and in a white jersey, but Canes coach Paul Maurice said he is not ready to rejoin the lineup.
Dalpe has been skating for a few days now, which is an encouraging sign for the team. The Canes top prospect was held pointless over his first five games this year.
Dalpe seems to be moving OK. Not full tilt yet.
Dalpe got on the ice for the first time since his injury, which is an encouraging sign for fantasy hockey owners. Expect him to return to the lineup within the next few weeks and possibly get a demotion to the AHL for conditioning.
Dalpe week to week. Canes not sure on callup yet
Dalpe played mostly on the bottom line in his five games this season. The team's top prospect produced no points with a plus-1 rating. Look for the team to make a roster move up front or play seven defensemen.

"I'm not taking anything for granted," the forward said. "I want to be here all 82 (games). I guess the season is 190 days, so I've got a 190 days of work ahead of me."
Dalpe will start the season on the fourth line. The team's top prospect scored 23 goals and 57 points through 61 games, earning 15 games with the big club. He figures to stick with the team all season which should produce a decent rookie year.
Line Change
Zac Dalpe isn't going to try and deny it. Playing right wing on a line with Eric Staal and Alexei Ponikarovsky, he said, is pretty cool.
Dalpe played well on the third line, meshing with Jiri Tlusty and Brandon Sutter. The team's top prospect scored 23 goals and 57 points through 61 games, earning 15 games with the big club. He figures to stick with the team all season which should produce a decent rookie year.
LaRose-Sutter-Dalpe
As predicted, the Canes' top prospect likely finds himself on the third line for the start of the season. While he will play a two-way game focused on shutting down his opponent, learning from Brandon Sutter should help his development.
Dalpe after first practice: "I'm in a good position right now and want to take advantage of it."
The team's top prospect will certainly earn a role on one of the team's top three lines. Stay tuned for further updates on the youngster as he could have a similar impact to Jeff Skinner this season.
