AHL

As J-F Chaumont (Le Journal de Montréal) writes on Twitter, the Montreal Canadiens have reassigned their forward Sven Andrighetto to their AHL affiliate team, the St. John's IceCaps.

Andrighetto therefore won't be able to participate in Montreal's first ever Winter Classic game against the Boston Bruins. After getting called-up by the Montreal Canadiens in the end of November, the 22-year-old forward appeared in 14 games for the Habs, scoring five points (four goals, one assist).

Andrighetto, who was drafted by the Habs in 2013 as 86th overall and got to make his NHL-debut last season, has already suited up in 17 games for the IceCaps this season and managed to put up six goals and nine assists for them. (bsc)
