As an impending restricted free agent, Andrighetto's tenure with Colorado ended after he was not tendered a qualifying offer on June 25, 2019.

As a free agent with minimal multi-term offers from the NHL, Andrighetto opted to leave North America in agreeing to a long rumoured two-year contract with Russian club, Avangard Omsk of the KHL, on July 9, 2019.

In his third season with the Avalanche, Andrighetto began the 2018–19 season on the injured reserve, after suffering a leg injury during a pre-season game against the Dallas Stars on September 26, 2018. He made his season debut in the Avalanche's seventh game of the season against the New Jersey Devils, scoring a goal in a 5-3 victory on October 19, 2018. Playing in a top 9 role, he appeared in just six games before he was returned to the injured reserve with a week-to week lower body injury on October 30, 2018. Upon his return to health, Andrighetto's missed time affected his role, receiving fourth-line minutes and the occasional healthy scratch. Despite averaging just over 11 minutes time-on-ice, Andrighetto produced 7 goals and 17 points in 64 games with the Avalanche. In the post-season, Andrighetto was used as the team's first reserve forward, drawing into the lineup on the fourth-line in game three of a first-round series against the Calgary Flames on April 15, 2019. He finished scoreless in 5 playoff games before the Avalanche were defeated in the Western Conference Semi-finals against the San Jose Sharks.

Struggling to secure a defined role in the team, and having contributed only 8 points in 27 games, Andrighetto was traded by the Canadiens at the trade deadline on March 1, 2017, to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Andreas Martinsen.

On March 11, 2017, he scored his first goal for the Avalanche in a 4–2 defeat to the Ottawa Senators. Given an extended opportunity in a scoring role on a line with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, Andrighetto blossomed to lead the Avalanche in scoring through the month of March and finish the season with 16 points in 19 games.

Protected in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, Andrighetto agreed to a two-year, $2.8 million contract extension with Colorado on June 28, 2017.

After collecting 12 points in his first 16 games, Andrighetto slowed offensively before suffering a leg injury against the New York Islanders on December 31, 2017. In missing 28 games, Andrighetto returned to the lineup on March 8, 2018, against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Playing in a reduced role, he appeared in a further eight games before suffering a re-occurrence of his lingering leg injury, missing three games.

Andrighetto had a slow start at training camp before the 2016–17 season and was reassigned to the IceCaps. Scoring at more than a point-per-game pace in the AHL, Andrighetto earned another recall to Montreal.

Andrighetto was assigned to begin the 2015–16 season with the Canadiens' new AHL affiliate, the St. John's IceCaps. On November 20, 2015, he was recalled to Montreal for the remainder of the season after producing 23 points in 26 games. Thereafter, he enjoyed the most productive period in his career, scoring 7 goals and 17 points in 40 games.

Unable to make the Canadiens out of training camp and pre-season, Andrighetto returned to the Bulldogs for the 2014–15 season. He contributed a goal and two assists in a game on 2 December 2014 against the Adirondack Flames at the Glens Falls Civic Center. Recalled by the Canadiens in December, he made his NHL debut in a 4–1 loss to the Dallas Stars on December 6, recording his first goal with assists from Tomáš Plekanec and Jiří Sekáč. He registered a point in his first three games to become the first Hab to do so since Pierre Mondou in 1978.
