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.
Goalie Start
Looks like Sergei Bobrovsky is your starter tonight. He's taken his seat in Sec. 101, Row 8. Usually does that on his starts.

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.
Line Change
"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.

The Kings announced an official set of roster cuts, with goalie J.F. Berube and forwards Robert Czarnik, Justin Johnson and Rob Mignardi assigned to Manchester.
No immediate fantasy hockey value while playing in the AHL.
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.
The Bruins have confirmed that Brad Marchand has agreed to a contract extension. According to TSN, Marchand has signed a two-year, $5 million contract, giving him an annual cap hit of $2.5 million.
The sophomore will be looking to top his 20 goals and 41 points from his rookie campaign. As long as he continues to flank Patrice Bergeron, he should retain that value if not further improve. Keep in mind, the pesky winger finished second to David Krejci in postseason goals with 11.
Santos threw a shot at defenseman Dmitry Kulikov on Wednesday, saying "I wouldn't say Kulikov is guaranteed a spot. He's eligible for the AHL too.''
For those of you expecting an uptick in production from Kulikov: be careful. The young Russian will need to earn his spot and compete for playing time with veterans like Brian Campbell and Ed Jovanovski.
Berube, 19, also was a fourth-round pick in the 2009 draft. This season, with the Montreal Juniors of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Berube played 50 games and went 32-7-8 with a 2.60 goals-against average (which ranked fourth in the league), a .902 save percentage and three shutouts. Berube also played three games for the AHL’s Manchester Monarchs this season.
