Sven Andrighetto was recalled by the Montreal Canadiens last night after another strong performance with the American Hockey League’s St. John’s Ice Caps. The native of Switzerland is off to a terrific start in his third season with the Habs top affiliate and was brought up to fill the roster spot left void by Torrey Mitchell who is out with a lower body injury.
The question for the highly skilled winger is whether or not he is on the Habs long term, and even more specifically, can he fill the need for a top six winger?
