DiPietro was a third-round pick of the Canucks in 2017. He spent four years in the Vancouver organization, earning a pair of NHL starts. He signed with the Bruins in 2022 and after spending time with the Maine Mariners (ECHL) and Providence (AHL), the 27-year-old is getting his first legit look at the varsity level.

After surrendering a pair of goals in the final minute of the first period, DiPietro went a perfect 13 for 13 over the final 40 minutes (including eight minutes of penalty kill time) as the Bruins completed their comeback.

“It’s hard to pinpoint,” DiPietro said of the emotions he was feeling in after the win. “There’s a lot of them. Definitely a dramatic way to get the first one and didn’t really make it easy on myself.

“I think for me, I’m sure I’ll have more time to debrief and sit with it and just see how long the road really was. But obviously it’s just one [win] and obviously you want to build on it, but definitely going to enjoy this moment and I’m really looking forward to calling my dad and my wife and just talking with them and just enjoying it with all my family back home.”

Sturm praises Lindholm

Elias Lindholm had a goal and an assist against the Ducks but his most important contribution was his work in the face-off circle.

Lindholm was 18 of 23 at the dot (78.3 percent) as he consistently gave the Bruins initial possession.

“He was really good in the circle. He was unbelievable actually,” said coach Marco Sturm. “And not just [against Anaheim]. He’s been all season long. He’s been since Day 1 of training camp actually. He had a really good jump. He just played smart out there. I think too many people don’t even give him credit for that, the way he plays and also the way he helps us to win.”

Plagued by back woes the last two seasons, Lindholm is feeling healthy and it shows.

“It feels good [to be playing well],” said Lindholm. “I think it’s the first time in a long time my body feels good. I think for quite some time it’s been always something, I feel like. My body feels great, so it feels good.”

Not pretty, but still good

Frederic Brunet’s first career goal wasn’t a thing of beauty — his wrister appeared to hit a dent in the ice, changed direction, and fooled Anaheim goalie Lukas Dostal — but his set up was exquisite.

Brunet calmly danced across the blue line Quinn Hughes-like, stayed patient and then let what he called the “worst shot of my career” go.

“His feet are elite,” said Sturm. “The way he drags [the puck] and even across the blue line and then comes with the hands too a little bit. It’s just fun to watch. It’s been great so far, all year long.”
