With that, GSHC has found a temporary replacement for Sami Vatanen, who is still injured. After Vatanen returns, the Grenats have options to choose with their foreigners, depending on the severity of the injury to Teemu Hartikainen.
Auvitu began playing in France, before going to Finland as a junior in 2008, where he stayed until 2016. After two seasons in the NHL, he went to play for Russia and Sweden, and then back to Finland. This season in the KHL, he put up one goal and two assists in 20 games.
