Sven Andrighetto (born 21 March 1993) is a Swiss ice hockey winger currently playing with the Colorado Avalanche organization of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the third-round (86th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, his last year of eligibility. He previously played with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, with whom he would finish sixth in scoring in 2012–13.
The Rouyn-Noranda Huskies selected him in the 1st round (11th overall) of the 2011 QMJHL Import draft, from the National League B (Switzerland's second-tier pro league) team GCK Lions. In the 2010–11 season, while playing for the Lions, he was selected to represent Switzerland at the 2011 World Junior tournament. Playing 36 games for GCK, he posted 23 points (11 goals and 12 assists) as well as 20 penalty minutes. Loaned to eventual NLB champion EHC Visp, he was scoreless in two regular-season games, adding one goal and two assists plus 12 penalty minutes in 17 playoff games.
For the 2011–12 QMJHL season, Andrighetto made the switch from Switzerland and the NLB to Canada and the QMJHL. Despite his small size, Andrighetto managed to put up a total of 74 points (36 goals plus 38 assists), along with 50 penalty minutes. He was a -23 in plus/minus despite his high scoring. The Huskies made it to the playoffs but lost to the Shawinigan Cataractes in a four-game sweep. Andrighetto had only two assists and four penalty minutes in those four games.
