One of 11 rookies to play for the Arizona Coyotes during the 2015-16 NHL season, Dauphin made his NHL debut against the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks on Dec. 29, 2015.

In his third NHL game, on Jan. 4, 2016, Dauphin scored his first NHL goal, against Jacob Markstrom of the Vancouver Canucks, breaking a 1-1 tie and giving the Coyotes the lead for good in a game they won 3-2.

That ended a three-game stint with Arizona and was the last game Dauphin played for the Coyotes until they called him up again in April, when he played five more games in the NHL.

A 6-foot-1, 180-pound center, Dauphin spent most of the season with Springfield of the American Hockey League, scoring 11 goals and 24 points in 66 games. He enjoyed a four-game goal streak March 12-19, 2016, which came in the midst of a six-game point streak from March 5-19, 2016, during which Dauphin had four goals and eight points.

The Coyotes selected Dauphin in the second round (No. 39) of the 2013 NHL Draft. He made his professional debut with Portland of the AHL on April 11, 2015, and scored his first goal as a pro against Providence a week later. Dauphin also appeared in five Calder Cup games for Portland, getting two assists.

Dauphin previously spent three seasons with Chicoutimi of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. In 2014-15 he led Chicoutimi in goals (31), assists (44) and points (75).
