In the realm of goaltending, the Boston Bruins made a move Wednesday. General Manager Don Sweeney announced a one-year, two-way contract extension for goalie Michael DiPietro until the 2024-25 season.
This is DiPietro's second extension since joining from the Vancouver Canucks in 2022.
Bruins announce they've signed P-Bruins goalie Michael DiPietro to a one-year, two-way contract for next season with an NHL cap hit of $775K
DiPietro, 24, has shown promise in Providence, posting a 17-8-4 record with a 2.52 goals against average and .917 save percentage in 26 games this season.
Despite limited NHL experience, his potential is evident, backed by a career AHL record of 57-33-6-5.
While DiPietro may not see immediate NHL action, his extension suggests future opportunities amid uncertainties with Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman's roles in Boston.
