DiPietro was called up from AHL Providence on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

Bruins' Michael DiPietro: Secures one-year extension
Rotowire
DiPietro inked a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Bruins on Wednesday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.
DiPietro hasn't gotten into an NHL game this season but has put up solid numbers with AHL Providence, registering a 17-8-0 record, .917 save percentage and 2.52 GAA in 26 appearances. Even if the team opted to part ways with Jeremy Swayman or Linus Ullmark this summer, the 24-year-old DiPietro could face an uphill battle in securing a spot on the Bruins' 23-man roster next season.

Bruins' Michael DiPietro: Acquired by Bruins
Rotowire
DiPietro and Jonathan Myrenberg were traded by Vancouver to Boston in exchange for Jack Studnicka on Thursday.
Vancouver took DiPietro with the No. 64 pick in the 2017 draft. He had a 2.95 GAA and .901 save percentage in 34 AHL contests last season. He's also posted an 0-2-0 record, 5.25 GAA and .771 save percentage in three career NHL games. Boston is expected to have him serve in the minors this season. He's probably not even third on the Bruins' organizational depth chart, as Keith Kinkaid, who has 167 games worth of NHL experience, might get called up first if an injury to Jeremy Swayman or Linus Ullmark necessitates elevating a netminder to the big club.

Canucks' Michael DiPietro: Takes loss in season debut
Rotowire
DiPietro allowed three goals on 17 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blues.
The Canucks, despite a depleted lineup, did well to shelter their young goalie from a lot of shots, but the Blues were opportunistic. DiPietro has drawn into three games in his career, but he's yet to earn his first NHL win. The 22-year-old is set to be the short-term No. 1 goalie for the Canucks until Jaroslav Halak or Thatcher Demko clears the COVID-19 protocols. If no goalies are eligible to return, DiPietro would get a tough task Tuesday against Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and the Oilers.

This move suggests that Thatcher Demko or Braden Holtby won't be available for Saturday's game against Ottawa but there's been no word of either of them needing to sit. DiPietro is still the No. 3 netminder on the depth chart and hasn't seen any NHL action this season.
