Utica gained a strong defensive piece on Tuesday after New Jersey signed Colin White to a two-year, two-way deal. The 27-year-old defenseman has 10 points in 84 career NHL games but failed to make it to the big leagues in 2023-24 after collecting eight points in 53 games with San Diego (AHL).

White has been a healthy scratch for the Ducks' previous two games but is expected to draw back into the lineup Wednesday. The 25-year-old has four assists, 20 SOG, six PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 26 games this season.

White last played Dec. 17th and has been a healthy scratch since but will draw back into Anaheim's lineup to replace Kevin Shattenkirk (illness). The 25-year-old has one assist, 10 SOG, six PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 16 games this season.

White will be back in the Ducks' lineup after missing the last two games as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old has one assist, nine SOG, six PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 14 games this season.

White will head to the press box Thursday as he is replaced by Nathan Beaulieu. The 25-year-old will be a healthy scratch after putting up an assist and nine SOG with a -5 plus/minus through 12 games so far this season.

White has had a last of the NHL in each of the last four seasons, totalling four assists across 38 games (all with the Devils). The 25-year-old defenseman will likely start 2022-23 in San Diego (AHL).

White was selected in the fourth-round (No. 97 overall) in 2015 but has appeared in just 11 NHL games since, including two in 2021. White spent most of the season with Binghamton (AHL), where he had one goal and six assists. Look for him to start the 2021-22 season in the AHL once again.

Sami Vatanen missed Monday's practice and was listed as questionable for tonight's game but White's call-up suggests that Vatanen is out and White will be the seventh defenseman.

White was a fourth-round pick in 2015 and appeared in three NHL games with the Devils last season. The 22-year-old defenseman, who has three assists in 15 AHL games this season, could make his season debut on Friday night. Sami Vatanen (upper-body) was moved to IR to make room for White.

White, 21, was a fourth-round pick (No.97 overall) in 2015 and could make his NHL debut this week. White has six goals and 19 assists (25 points), 23 penalty minutes and a minus-13 rating in 61 games with Binghamton this season.
