"Jim Rutherford, president and general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced the team recalled forward Zac Dalpe from the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL. Forward Drayson Bowman was reassigned to Charlotte.

Dalpe, 22, was assigned to Charlotte on Wednesday and played in two games during the weekend for the Checkers. The Paris, Ont., native was assigned to Charlotte after he missed seven Hurricanes games recovering from a lower-body injury sustained Oct. 14 at Buffalo.

Dalpe (6-foot-1, 195 pounds) has played in five NHL games this season without registering a point. Carolina drafted him in the second round, 45th overall, in 2008."
