Senators prospect Colin White out 6-8 weeks with broken wrist
Ottawa Senators forward prospect Colin White will be out for six-to-eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a broken left wrist, the team announced Tuesday.
White, 20, suffered the injury in Ottawa's preseason game Monday night. He was on the fast track to make the Senators out of training camp this year with second-line center Derick Brassard injured and unlikely to start the year with the club.
White tallied 33 points in 35 games at Boston College a year ago. He then played three games with Ottawa's AHL affiliate, picking up three points. He suited up in two regular-season games with Ottawa and one playoff game.
For hockey fans outside of Canada's capital, White is best known for his fantastic performance during the 2017 world juniors. He scored seven goals in as many games, helping the United States capture the gold medal.
