DiPietro stopped 13 of the 14 shots he faced after replacing Jeremy Swayman midway through the second period of Thursday's 5-2 loss to Montreal.
Boston's defense hung Swayman out to dry, and the switch in the crease seemed to wake the team up a bit. although not enough to come back from a 4-0 deficit. DiPietro is more than holding his own in his first real look in the NHL, going 4-1-0 in six outings as the Bruins' No. 2 netminder with a 2.18 GAA and .925 save percentage.
