Di Giuseppe has appeared in the last five games with the Hurricanes, but it looks like he will be replaced by Josh Jooris vs. the Predators this afternoon. Di Giuseppe had one assist in those five games, but averaged just 9:27 TOI/GM.
Di Giuseppe has split his last two seasons between the NHL and AHL, playing a total of 77 games with the Hurricanes—recording 24 points 8G / 16A) in the process. So far this season, the 24-year-old has four goals and eight assists (12 points) in 14 games with Charlotte.
Di Giuseppe left Sunday’s game in Arizona after playing just 8:51 TOI and did not return. This is a tough break for a young forward, who has played well since being called up in mid-February. Expect an update before tomorrow’s game in Colorado.
Di Giuseppe had one goal and one assist in seven games during this call-up, to give him two points (1G / 1A) in 18 games with the Hurricanes this season. Carolina is expected to get Jordan Staal and Elias Lindholm back on Tuesday, so Di Giuseppe returns to Charlotte.

Di Giuseppe, 23, has failed to pick up a point in 11 games with Carolina this season, so he heads back to Charlotte to work on his game. The former second round pick (38th overall in 2012) had 18 points (8G / 10A) in 25 AHL games a season ago.
Di Giuseppe, 22, has split his time between Carolina and Charlotte this season. In 18 games with the Hurricanes he has eight points (3G / 5A) and 18 points (8G / 10A) in 25 AHL games.
