The Checkers have their captain back, as the Panthers have assigned Zac Dalpe to Charlotte.
The veteran forward began the season on Florida’s non-roster list, but is now cleared to join the Checkers. Dalpe, who led the team with 30 goals last season, jumps onto a Charlotte squad that won each of its first two games this season and is heading into a two-game set against the Hershey Bears this weekend.
