Senators' Colin White to make NHL debut Monday vs. Red Wings
Steve Mitchell / USA TODAY Sports
The Ottawa Senators are pulling out all the stops.
In the midst of a four-game losing streak, the club will look to 2015 first-round pick Colin White to provide a spark to the lineup.
White has been told he is in the lineup tonight. His mom and dad are on the way from Boston to see his first NHL game.

White opened eyes at the 2017 World Junior Hockey Championships, where he scored seven goals and added an assist in seven games for Team USA, who won the tournament.
He only has three AHL games under his belt, but had an illustrious NCAA career at Boston College, where he tallied 76 points in 72 games across two seasons for the Eagles.
White is expected to skate on Ottawa's fourth line alongside veterans Chris Kelly and Tommy Wingels.
