"DiPietro certainly seems to be on the right trajectory to become a regular NHLer. While he politely made it clear that he does not want to talk about his stats, they are quite impressive. For the juggernaut Providence Bruins, DiPietro is 21-5 with a 1.64 goals against average and .942 save percentage. Since coming to the Bruins organization from the Canucks in the Jack Studnicka, his numbers have steadily improved."
"While it would seem unlikely that the B's would mess with their goaltending between now and the March 6 trade deadline, they will have to think long and hard about what to do over the summer. While Swayman is in the second year of an eight-year contract and ensconced as the No. 1, Korpisalo has two years left at $3 million a season."
Michael DiPietro is with the Boston Bruins as a stopgap while Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo are at the Olympics. DiPietro seeks a permanent NHL role and views the current call-up as part of that trajectory. His AHL numbers with the Providence Bruins have improved year over year and are currently outstanding, including a 21-5 record, 1.64 goals-against average and .942 save percentage. DiPietro emphasizes controlling what he can and continuing to refine his game. The Bruins face offseason goaltending decisions given Swayman’s long-term contract, Korpisalo’s remaining term, and DiPietro’s one-year, $812,500 deal.
