Playing career

Early years

As a youth, Dauphin played in the 2007 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Lanaudière Ouest. [1] He later played with the Collège Esther-Blondin Phénix of the Ligue de hockey Midget AAA du Québec (QMAAA), where he became the first player in franchise history to record 100 points. [2] He played three seasons of major junior hockey with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).

Professional

Dauphin made his NHL debut during the 2015–16 season, and scored his first career NHL goal against the Vancouver Canucks on January 4, 2016. [3] He was reassigned to the American Hockey League (AHL) the following day. [4]

On June 23, 2017, Dauphin was traded by Arizona at the 2017 NHL entry draft, alongside Connor Murphy, to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Niklas Hjalmarsson. [5]

In the following 2017–18 season, after attending the Blackhawks training camp and pre-season, Dauphin was reassigned to AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs. Less than one year after being traded to Chicago, he was traded back to the Coyotes, alongside Richard Pánik, in exchange for Anthony Duclair and Adam Clendening. [6]

Dauphin began the 2018–19 season, serving as an alternate captain for his third season with the Coyotes' affiliate the Tucson Roadrunners. He added 20 points in 34 games for the Roadrunners and made a lone appearance with the Coyotes on January 10, 2019, against the Vancouver Canucks, before being traded away for a second time by the Coyotes, along with Adam Helewka, to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Emil Pettersson on February 8, 2019. [7] While with the Predators' AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, Dauphin was signed to a one-year, two-way contract extension on February 27, 2019. [8]

Continuing with the Admirals in the 2019–20 season, Dauphin added seven goals and 16 points in 33 games before he was traded by the Predators to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Michael McCarron on January 7, 2020. [9] On June 21, 2021, Dauphin was re-signed to a one-year, two-way contract by the Canadiens. [10]

The subsequent 2021–22 season saw Dauphin get his most substantial opportunities in the NHL since 2017, as the injury-depleted Canadiens called him up for long periods when other centremen were sidelined. On March 9, 2022, he played a career-high twenty-fifth game in an NHL season, and remarked "playing for the Canadiens has always been a dream, and along with coming back to the National League, it’s like a two-for-one in my eyes." [11]

Dauphin returned as an unrestricted free agent for a third stint with the Arizona Coyotes, signing a one-year, two-way contract on July 13, 2022. [12] In the following 2022–23 season, Dauphin split the season between Tucson and the Coyotes, appearing in 21 games with the latter, contributing a goal.

As an impending unrestricted free agent, Dauphin opted to sign his first contract abroad in agreeing to an optional two-year contract with Swiss-based HC Ambrì-Piotta of the National League (NL) on June 1, 2023. [13] However, Dauphin ultimately returned to North America after just a single season overseas, signing a one-year AHL contract with the Laval Rocket on July 1, 2024, a team he previously played for between 2019 and 2022. [14]
