Colin White set to have MRI, will be out long-term

According to Ottawa Senators head coach DJ Smith, forward Colin White is set to have an MRI today and is expected to miss a significant amount of time.

White, 24, was injured after getting tied up awkwardly with David Kamp early in the first period of Monday's game against Toronto. He was forced to leave the game with what the team called an upper-body injury. Coach Smith has since confirmed it is his shoulder. It is a tough break, as he was looking to bounce back from a down 2020-21 season in which he had just 10 goals and 18 points in 45 games.

Since signing a six-year, $28.5 million deal, White has struggled to get back to the player he was in 2018-19 when he recorded 14 goals and 41 points in 71 contests. After being taken 21st overall in 2015, it appeared he was on track to becoming a star player, but has really struggled the past few seasons. Hopefully this injury doesn't end up being as serious as feared and he can come back and get his career on track.
