The Montreal Canadiens could have interest in acquiring Vancouver Canucks goaltender Michael DiPietro, according to a report by Rick Dhaliwal.

Dhaliwal mentioned DiPietro&#8217;s situation on Wednesday&#8217;s edition of Donnie &amp; Dhali — The Team on CHEK TV, making note of his lower position on the Canucks&#8217; goaltending depth chart and the mutual desire for him to get a fresh start.
&#8220;Mike DiPietro — it&#8217;s time for a change, he needs a fresh start, he&#8217;s gotta get out of here. He&#8217;s fallen behind Arturs Silovs,&#8221; Dhaliwal said. &#8220;Someone told me this morning the Habs may have interest.&#8221;
DiPietro is a pending restricted free agent. The deadline for teams to tender qualifying offers to their RFAs is July 11.
&#8220;I think the Canucks are, hopefully, gonna get him moved by the deadline next week,&#8221; Dhaliwal continued.
