Aspirot was summoned from the AHL in October to help give the Bruins depth on defense after Hampus Lindholm was placed on injured reserve .
The 26-year-old has carved out a full-time role with the organization since his arrival. Aspirot has four points and is a team-high plus-15 in 25 games for the Bruins this season.
The extension comes the day after the Bruins blew out the New York Rangers , 10-2, at TD Garden.
