After inking a one-year contract with the Habs in June, Sven Andrighetto is poised to to make the most of this opportunity to prove to the Montreal Canadiens that he is worth more than that $650,000 he is going to earn this season.
Amid all the darkness that was the 2015-16 Montreal Canadiens season, Andrighetto proved to be one of the few bright spots after being called up at the end of November, when Torrey Mitchell went down with a lower body injury. He was sent back down to the AHL after a 17 game stint in which he put up four goals, one assist and a plus-five plus/minus rating.
