For a veteran player, once he departs the NHL to pursue an opportunity overseas, it can be a real challenge to find his way back. After spending the 2022-23 season with the Swiss-A league's SC Bern, longtime NHL forward Tyler Ennis is reportedly looking to return to North America.
Ennis, 33, left North America last summer after playing 13 seasons in the NHL, split between the Buffalo Sabres, Minnesota Wild, Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers and Ottawa Senators.
The Edmonton native had a strong season with SC Bern in Switzerland, recording 33 points (13 goals, 20 assists) in 37 games and followed that up with three points in five playoff games. Will it be enough to earn himself another shot in the NHL? We'll soon find out.
