Maple Leafs' Ennis suffers broken ankle
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Tyler Ennis suffered a broken ankle during Saturday's game against the New York Rangers, head coach Mike Babcock said following the contest, according to Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun.
Ennis, 29, left during the second period and did not return after taking a wrist shot to the ankle and skating off the ice under his own power. The Maple Leafs went on to win the contest 5-3.
Babcock didn't indicate exactly how long Ennis will be sidelined but confirmed he'll be "out for a while."
The Leafs and Ennis agreed in July on a one-year contract worth $650,000. In his first season with Toronto, the diminutive forward has notched seven goals and four assists, averaging over 10 minutes of ice time in his 32 games played prior to Saturday.
