Blue Jackets' Zac Dalpe: Called up in emergency transaction

Dalpe was involved in an emergency recall Monday due to an ill Columbus forward, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic Cleveland reports.

Dalpe hasn't seen the ice for Columbus since Nov. 6, and was placed on waivers shortly after. It's unclear which of the team's forwards is suffering from an illness, but Dalpe was nonetheless recalled from AHL Cleveland as insurance. He's played in just 10 games this season, and is averaging 7:42 of ice time in those contests. The 28-year-old will mainly serve as depth up the middle during this stint with the Blue Jackets.
