I think so, but DL is not going to give you any. Even for their DMs, DL is very cheap about (not) giving out compensation for much bigger service and other failures.
If this had happened with another airline, you may have a fair shot at getting some compensation. Not so with DL.
DL miles are both some of the hardest to "earn" and the hardest and worth least to use.
