Breaking: Sens call up former first round pick!

The Ottawa Senators have called up forward Colin White from the Belleville Senators (AHL), the team announced on Friday. White played three games with the Senators this season, without registering a point. 

Drafted 21st overall by Ottawa in 2015, the 20-year old forward scored eight goals and eight assists for a total of 16 points in the AHL this season. In two seasons played with Boston College (NCAA), the Boston, Massachusetts native produced a total of 76 points in 72 games. White played a total of five games in the NHL so far, and he is still looking for his first point. 

Senators head coach Guy Boucher also confirmed that goaltender Craig Anderson will get the start tomorrow night to face the Toronto Maple Leafs. Anderson has been struggling this season, registering a record of 12-14-5 in 33 starts with a 3.21 goal-against average and a .900 save percentage. The 36 year old netminder allowed three goals on 36 shots against the St.Louis Blues last night. 

The Sens will be without forwards Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Nate Thompson tomorrow, as both are dealing with injuries. Pageau missed Ottawa last game with an upper-body injury, but Thompson was able to play on Thursday night, after he missed three games with a lower-body injury. Pageau has 15 points in 42 games this season, and Thompson produced 11 points in 40 games played.

The Senators are currently seventh in the Atlantic division with a record of 15-19-9. They have a record of 4-5-1 in their last ten games.
