<\/p>\n
In a media scrum this afternoon, general manager Pierre Dorion acknowledged that Senators Colin White suffered a broken wrist in last night’s preseason opener versus the Toronto Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n
White apparently underwent surgery this morning and will now miss the next six to eight weeks recovering from the injury.<\/p>\n
White’s injury is the latest devastating news for a Senators club that already looks poised to start the season missing key contributors like Erik Karlsson, Derick Brassard and Clarke MacArthur.<\/p>\n
Admittedly, White’s not quite at the level of those veterans (at least not yet), but he was expected to compete and earn a spot in Ottawa’s opening night lineup.<\/p>\n
