Enstrom (lower-body) is practicing again on Wednesday.

Enstrom, who resumed skating late last week, was in practice again this morning with a no-contact jersey. Enstrom will need to be cleared for contact before his return is imminent, but it is a good sign that he continues to skate.

The Jets have placed Tobias Enstrom (lower-body) on injured reserve.

Enstrom practiced today and said after he felt good but would wait & see what the medical staff said about his lower body injury. Appearantley they didn’t like what they saw as they placed Enstrom on the injured reserve list and recalled Ben Chiarot from the St. John’s IceCaps. The move to the IR for Enstrom is retroactive to November 23rd, so he is eligible to return whenever he is healthy.

#NHLJets Paul Postma confirms he will play tonight in place of Toby Enstrom. Says Enstrom is fine, but he is still a little sore.

Enstrom won't play tonight after getting nicked up in his last game when he took a big hit in the defensive zone. He left the game and did not return. He didn't participate in practice this morning so he is clearly still banged up. He isn't expected to miss an extended period of time, he will probably be back on Tuesday vs. Tampa Bay.

Enstrom left yesterday's game after taking a hard hit in the first period and did not return.

Jets coach Claude Noel said afterward Enstrom is day-to-day after "it just seized up. It's just something that happens when you put stress on muscles." It doesn't sound like Enstrom's injury is too serious.

#NHLJets Noel says Toby Enstrom "looks like he is turning the corner..." Might play tomorrow night.

Enstrom has not played since February 15th. He had 13 points in 13 games before getting hurt. He is an exceptional passer but he will not score a lot of goals. He rarely shoots the puck, he had just 9 shots in those 13 games.
