This Bruins prospect is continuing to thrive in the AHL.
The AHL All-Star Skills Competition is on Feb. 2, and Providence Bruins goaltender Michael DiPietro will be participating in it. DiPietro has earned the honor of being an AHL All-Star, as the 25-year-old goalie has been spectacular for Providence this season.
In 25 games this season with Providence, DiPietro has a 16-5-4 record, a 1.91 goals-against average, and a .932 save percentage. With numbers like these, he has passed Brandon Bussi on Providence's depth chart and has become their top goaltender.
DiPietro only seems to be getting better as this season carries on, too. The 2017 third-round pick has a .903 save percentage or better in each of his last five starts (4-0-1 record). This includes recording back-to-back shutouts against the Syracuse Crunch (Jan. 18) and Rochester Americans (Jan. 24).
DiPietro is undoubtedly standing out this season and is emerging as one of the Boston Bruins' most intriguing prospects. If he keeps this up, it is fair to wonder if he could make his first NHL appearance since the 2021-22 campaign, when he was with the Vancouver Canucks.
