Ryan White's upper body injury was a punctured lung.
White understandably missed Games 4 and 5 for that reason. Fortunately the issue has been dealt with and he might have even been able to return during the Canadiens' postseason run had they managed to avoid elimination.

Ryan White (upper body) will not return on Thursday.
White also missed Game 4 due to the ailment. He has a goal and 23 penalty minutes in three postseason contests.

Ryan White has an upper-body injury and won't play in Tuesday's Game 4.
White appeared to suffer an injury Sunday but continued to play through the ailment. White's biggest impact on the series so far has been a slash to the back of Zack Smith's legs that sparked a line brawl Sunday night. White has one goal and 23 penalty minutes in three playoff games this year.

Ryan White, who was fine to continue playing Sunday after it looked like he may have suffered an injury, helped begin a chippy third period against Ottawa.
His slash to the back of Zack Smith's legs kicked off a line brawl at center ice after the Senators had taken a 4-1 lead in the contest. White, who scored in Game 2, picked up 17 minutes in penalties in Game 3 and he trails teammate by four P.K. Subban (27) for the most PIMs in the NHL playoffs going into Monday's matches.

Canadiens forward Ryan White left Sunday's game against the Senators after suffering an apparent injury on a bodycheck.
White went straight to the Habs dressing room after taking the impact of the hit and has yet to return to the ice. We'll pass along more information as it becomes available.

Ryan White is slated to remain in Montreal's lineup Thursday night when the Canadiens open the postseason against Ottawa.
He will center the fourth line between Brandon Prust and Travis Moen. The trio will obviously be counted on to bring some physical play to the table and to help keep Senators forward Chris Neil from running wild. White will play instead of Jeff Halpern.

Ryan White played on Saturday after completing his five-game suspension.
White was being punished for his illegal hit to the head of Philadelphia's Kent Huskins. White finished the season with a goal and 67 penalty minutes in 26 games.

Ryan White was reinstated from his suspension on Saturday April 27.

Ryan White has been suspended five games for his illegal check to the head of Philadelphia's Kent Huskins.
The incident occurred Monday night and it earned White a match penalty. White has played recklessly this season, but he doesn't have a history of suspensions. In 25 games, he has compiled 48 hits and 67 penalty minutes. He will be eligible to return for Montreal's final regular season match against Toronto on April 27th.

Ryan White is scheduled to have an in-person disciplinary hearing with the league in New York City on Wednesday morning.
White is likely facing a major suspension for a hit on Flyers defenseman Kent Huskins. An in-person meeting means the NHL could hand out a suspension exceeding six games for White, who has a history of undisciplined play. We'll update you as soon as we hear the league's decision, but it doesn't sound good for White.

Ryan White received 15 minutes in penalties Monday night against Philadelphia and he'll probably hear from the league for his hit on Flyers defender Kent Huskins.
He was assessed a major for the headshot, a major for fighting Kurtis Foster, and a match penalty on the play. White had been a healthy scratch for the past three games entering Monday's contest and he's undisciplined play has landed him in coach Michel Therrien's doghouse this season before. It would be surprising to see him play much for the rest of the year even if he isn't suspended.

Ryan White returned to action on Thursday April 4.

Ryan White won't play Saturday because of a lower-body injury.
White was a useful source of penalty minutes early in the season, but he had to cut that part out of his game to remain the lineup so he has no fantasy value.

Ryan White got back into Montreal's lineup Monday night for the first time since Feb. 7.
He was relegated to coach Michel Therrien's doghouse due to his undisciplined play, but he logged nearly 10 minutes of penalty-free hockey against Carolina in his return to action. White has amassed 46 minutes in the sin bin in just eight games this year, but he kept himself under control on Monday night.

Ryan White is not expected to play Saturday night against Toronto.
He will likely be a healthy scratch after taking a number of foolish penalties. White plays on the edge and is a great source for penalty minutes when he plays. But the Canadiens are trying to reign him in a little. That's good and bad for White's fantasy owners. Good, because he may get on the ice again. Bad, because he is less likely to be a valuable source for PIMs.

Ryan White will likely find himself back in the press box in the near future.
He took a double minor (two roughing minors, one for failing to goad Steve Ott into a fight) in the third period with the Habs up 4-2 that fueled Buffalo's eventual 5-4 comeback win in the shootout. The Sabres scored 25 seconds into it. "It was unacceptable," said head coach Michel Therrien. "That's the third time he has cost us with undisciplined play." From White: "Obviously, it was a selfish play. I thought he went kind of low on me and that's what he does. He's a smart player and I reacted in the wrong way. I cost my teammates another two points." White has played in seven games, and he has a goal and 46 penalty minutes.

Ryan White was a healthy scratch in the Montreal Canadiens' 6-1 win over the Sabres Saturday.
With P.K. Subban back in the lineup, coach Therrien opted to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen in the lineup. The fourth-line forward has amassed 42 penalty minutes this season but his lack of discipline has been a problem for the team.

Ryan White's double minor in the second period resulted in Ottawa scoring a pair of power-play goals to blow the game wide open.
He was given a minor for roughing and another two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. "I was complaining," said White. "I thought he was holding my stick along the boards, but I have to learn to shut up and just go to the box." The two goals the Senators scored gave them a 3-1 lead en route to a 5-1 victory. White finished the contest with nine penalty minutes to give him a league-leading 42 on the year. His teammate, Brandon Prust, is next in line with 41 PIMs.

Ryan White chipped in his first goal of the season in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over New Jersey.
The fourth-line forward has amassed 33 penalty minutes this season to place himself second in the league in that category. However, that total was inflated when he was assessed 27 minutes in the sin bin for jumping Florida's Tomas Fleischmann following a boarding play on defenseman Josh Gorges.
