“We’re moving him along; most of it has been flow,” Ruff explains. “The next step will be stops and starts, really trying to dig in. That’s the area with an ankle sprain that you start to question. The step after that is to get involved in the one-on-one battles where it’s not only your weight, you’re going to be carrying somebody else’s weight.”
Certainly a step in the right direction for Ennis, who will have trouble regaining his skating stride due to a high ankle injury. Prior to the injury he was held scoreless over seven games.
Tyler Ennis is set to practice with #Sabres for first time since spraining ankle Oct. 22. No timetable for game action.

Tyler Ennis could skate tomorrow.
Ennis has already missed six games with a high-ankle sprain. Expect him to take a few more weeks to recover.
Ennis, I think I’m seeing improvements quicker than normal High ankle sprains can take a long time but I seem to be moving along pretty good
Good news for Ennis owners, who are forced to look elsewhere for a depth LW. Prior to the injury the former 26th overall pick failed to register a point over seven games.

Tough break for Ennis, who was still looking for his first point this season. Look for Nathan Gerbe to slot back into the second line alongside Derek Roy and Drew Stafford.
Ennis lower body, won't return
Expect Nathan Gerbe to move back to a scoring line with Ennis hurt.
Line Change
Ennis-Roy-Stafford
Ennis moves up to the second line, playing alongside Roy and Stafford. Through his first five games he produced no points and a plus-2 rating. Look for him to get it going with improved linemates.
