After been sent down to the AHL right before the holiday roster freeze, Sven Andrighetto has been re-added to the active roster of the Montreal Canadiens.
Habs call up Sven Andrighetto from St. John’s

Andrighetto was not in the lineup for the St. John’s IceCaps on Monday afternoon, suggesting that his demotion was merely a cost-saving measure to reduce his impact on the salary cap this season.
He will be able to join the team when it heads on a late-year road trip to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers in back-to-back games later this week.
Andrighetto has two points in eight NHL games played so far this season.
