He spent the 2014-15 season with Charlotte of the American Hockey League and ranked second in goals (11), third in assists (19) and fourth in points (30).
Di Giuseppe began the 2015-16 season with Charlotte but was brought to the NHL in December 2015 to fill a checking-line role with the Hurricanes. He soon earned a place on a scoring line alongside Victor Rask and Jeff Skinner and produced seven goals, 10 assists and an even plus-minus rating before an injury ended his season in March.
