Sabres goalie Jhonas Enroth has found a new team in Sweden during the lockout, joining Almtuna on a contract that will run through early January.
Enroth, who played two games over the last two weeks in his hometown in Sweden, will now be playing in the country's top division.
"Excited to play in a good league and play against NHL players again," Enroth wrote on his Twitter account.
He is one of seven Sabres players who have suited up overseas during the lockout. Thomas Vanek returned home this week after a stint in Austria. Tyler Myers, Tyler Ennis, Andrej Sekera, Alex Sulzer, and Christian Ehrhoff have also been playing in Europe.
