White, a forward taken by the Ottawa Senators in the first round (No. 21) in the 2015 NHL Draft, had six points (two goals, four assists) in 21 games in 2017-18, his first extensive NHL stint. He was recalled from Belleville of the American Hockey League on Jan. 6, 2018, and scored his first goal exactly one month later in a 5-3 victory against the New Jersey Devils.

He was scoreless in two games for the Senators late in the 2016-17 season after signing with Ottawa following two seasons at Boston College. He made his NHL debut against the Detroit Red Wings on April 3, 2017. White also played in one game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs -- Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

In his first full season with Ottawa, White recorded 14 goals and 41 points in 71 games. He followed that up by scoring 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) in 61 games in 2019-20.

The Boston native played two seasons, 2013-14 and 2014-15, with USA Hockey's National Team Development Program before going to Boston College, where he had 76 points (34 goals, 42 assists) in 72 games. He was named the 2016 Hockey East Rookie of the Year and selected to the Second All-Star Team.

White's biggest moments so far have come playing for the United States in international competition. He scored seven goals in seven games to help the U.S. win the gold medal at the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship, and won bronze medals in 2016 and 2018. In 2015, he scored the game-winning goal in overtime against Finland to lift the U.S. to the gold medal at the IIHF Under-18 Championship.
