Bruins' Jeremy Swayman welcomes Michael DiPietro as potential backup

As the Boston Bruins prepare for the 2026-27 NHL season, goalie Jeremy Swayman will be joined by Michael DiPietro, who had a standout season with AHL Providence. DiPietro achieved a 34-8-1 record, boasting a 93.0 save percentage and a 1.91 goals against average, earning AHL Goalie of the Year honors for the second consecutive time. The Bruins recently traded Joonas Korpisalo, which opened a spot for DiPietro at the NHL level. Analysts suggest DiPietro's performance could significantly benefit the Bruins, particularly as they aim to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
