He led Rochester in goals and ranked third on the team with 130 shots. Dalpe ranked third in scoring amongst AHL rookies and was named to the 2011 AHL All-Rookie Team.

He played two seasons at Ohio State University (2008-10) and was named to the 2010 CCHA First All-Star Team and the 2009 CCHA All-Rookie Team. Dalpe owns 20 points (10-10=20) in 117 career NHL matches in parts of five seasons with Carolina, Vancouver and Buffalo.

He was originally selected by the Hurricanes in the second round (45th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. Dalpe was signed as a free agent by Minnesota on July 1, 2015 and will wear sweater No. 27 with the Wild.
