In the following season he established himself as a regular player in the team's defense. However, he was able to record only four scorer points in the season.

Also in the play-offs he got 11 points in 13 games. He was then selected in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft in the first round in 15th position by the Edmonton Oilers . But he stayed with his junior team for two more years. After he only made 36 appearances in the following season due to several injuries, he almost didn't make it into the team's squad. He then returned to his old form in 2008/09 with a new personal record of 37 assists in 68 games. At the same time he was one of the most punished players in the league with 155 penalty minutes.

In May 2009 Plante signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Edmonton Oilers. However, he was initially on the ice for their farm team, the Springfield Falcons , in the American Hockey League . On February 1, 2010, he finally gave his first appearance in the National Hockey League , when he was able to book his first assist in a game against the Carolina Hurricanes . After four games he was played back to Springfield in the AHL. There he recorded a total of 122 penalty minutes in 49 games over the course of his rookie season and scored nine points.

Prior to the 2010-11 season , the Oilers relocated their farm team to Oklahoma City , where it played as the Oklahoma City Barons until 2015 . Plante also followed the team there. In the following seasons, the defender spent most of the season in the AHL, while he was called up for three games in the squad of the Edmonton Oilers. In the 2011/12 season Alex Plante was appointed to the squad of the AHL All-Star Classic , where he was on the starting line-up of the Western Conference All-Stars .

After four years in the AHL, Plante decided to move to Europe and signed a one-year contract with Dornbirn EC from the Austrian ice hockey league . The following season he was committed by Lørenskog IK from the Norwegian GET-ligaen , where he finished the season with 189 penalty minutes as the most punished player in the league. For the 2015/16 season he was signed by the South Korean team Anyang Halla from the Asia League Ice Hockey . In his first season he was able to win the league with the club.
