Boston Bruins goaltending roster changes

Overview

The Boston Bruins have been reshaping their goaltending lineup ahead of the 2026‑27 NHL season. By late July, the club was carrying six goalies, including veteran starter Jeremy Swayman and AHL‑proven Michael DiPietro, alongside other prospects. Following a playoff exit, the team sought to address depth concerns across the roster.

A key move came when the Bruins traded Joonas Korpisalo to the New York Rangers, opening a spot on the NHL roster. The club announced that DiPietro, who posted a 93.0 save percentage and earned consecutive Goalie‑of‑the‑Year honors in the AHL, would be promoted to serve as Swayman’s backup. The organization expressed confidence that DiPietro could translate his AHL success to the NHL and provide reliable depth in net for the upcoming season.
