After spending the entire 2021.22 campaign with Abbotsford, the forward made his Vancouver Canucks debut on January 25 at Seattle and notched his first goal with the team in his next game on February 6 at New Jersey.

The 6’0″, 193-pound winger has compiled 57 points (18-39-57) and 77 penalty minutes in 214 regular season games over parts of seven NHL seasons with the Canucks, New York Rangers, Nashville Predators, and Carolina Hurricanes. He also appeared in three NHL Stanley Cup Playoff games with the Rangers during their 2020 Qualifying Round series against Carolina.

A product of Toronto, Ontario, Di Giuseppe has recorded 195 points (79-116-195) and 198 penalty minutes in 306 regular season AHL games, posting new career-highs in assists (24) and points (36) last season with Abbotsford.
