Jhonas Erik Enroth (born 25 June 1988) is a Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender who is currently under contract with HC Dinamo Minsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He has previously played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Buffalo Sabres, Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Playing career

Enroth was selected on 24 June 2006, by the Buffalo Sabres as their 2nd draft choice (46th overall), in the second round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

In 2007, he was named as the first of four candidates for Elitserien 2008 Rookie of the Year.[1] The award was eventually won by another goaltender, Daniel Larsson.[2] He ended the 2007–08 regular season in Sweden as the leading goaltender in save percentage and goals against average.[3] On 31 May 2008, Enroth signed a three-year level entry contract with the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL.[4] He also was the top European goaltender in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He had his first NHL pre-season appearance on 22 September, playing the second half of the game for the Buffalo Sabres.

On 22 February 2009, he was recalled to Buffalo from the Portland Pirates before he was returned to the Pirates without featuring in a game. On 4 November 2009, he was recalled again to Buffalo. Enroth made his NHL debut against the Boston Bruins 7 November 2009 in a losing effort, giving up four goals.[5] He did not get another chance at the NHL level until 3 November 2010 of the 2010–11 NHL season, when he played 20 minutes of an away game against the Boston Bruins, allowing three goals on just twelve shots to record his second NHL loss.[6]

Enroth recorded his first NHL victory in a shootout over the Toronto Maple Leafs by the score of 3–2 on 6 November 2010 in Toronto;[7] his second NHL victory also came in a shootout against the New Jersey Devils on 10 November 2010.[8] His third NHL victory came in a ten-round shootout against the Montreal Canadiens on 15 February 2011,[9] which, in winning, he became the first goaltender in NHL history to record all three of his first wins in shootouts.[10]

Enroth earned his first NHL shutout on 30 March 2011 against the New York Rangers stopping 23 shots. Incidentally, his parents were in attendance at the game, having flown over from Sweden to see him. On 4 April 2011, Enroth was named one of NHL's three stars for the week ending 3 April.[11] On 26 April 2011, Enroth appeared in his first NHL playoff game, relieving Ryan Miller. His debut saw the majority of the third period, allowing one goal in eight shots against. Enroth was named to the 2011–12 All-Rookie Team during the NHL Awards on 20 June 2012. He was the sixth player in Sabres franchise history to be named to the All-Rookie Team.[12]

During the 2012–13 NHL Lockout Enroth remained in Sweden and he first practiced with his original club Huddinge IK and played two games with them in the Hockeyettan. He then signed with Almtuna IS from Uppsala just north of Stockholm, in the second tier league, and played there until the NHL season started.

On 20 June 2013, Enroth signed a two-year deal to remain with the Sabres. Enroth was promoted to starting goaltender on 28 February 2014, after Ryan Miller, the Sabres' previous starting goaltender, was traded to the St. Louis Blues.

On 11 February 2015, Enroth was traded by the Sabres, to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Anders Lindbäck and a conditional 3rd-round draft pick.[13]

On 1 July 2015, Enroth signed a one-year contract to assume the backup position to Jonathan Quick on the Los Angeles Kings.[14] Enroth recorded impressive statistics in his limited role with the club but admitted once the season ended that he was disappointed with his lack of playing time, having dressed for only 16 contests.[15]

On 22 August 2016, Enroth signed as a free agent to a one-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs, to back up Frederik Andersen following the trade of Jonathan Bernier a month prior.[16] Though he was expected to play more games than he did with the Kings, Enroth struggled mightily with the Maple Leafs, going winless in his six appearances with the Leafs, and only starting in four of those games. With Andersen excelling, Entroth was waived on 5 December 2016 in order to be sent to the Toronto Marlies.[17] He cleared the following day. The next month would only see Enroth appear in three games with the Marlies (two of them in relief) due to a crowded crease.[18] Following the Maple Leaf's acquisition of Curtis McElhinney via waivers on 10 January 2017,[19] Enroth was traded to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a 7th round pick in 2018 at 1AM (EST) on 11 January.[20]

As a free agent from the Ducks, Enroth with limited opportunity to extend his NHL career opted to sign abroad in agreeing to a one-year deal with Belarusian club, HC Dinamo Minsk of the KHL, on July 13, 2017.[21]

Enroth first played at the international junior level with Sweden at the 2005 IIHF World U18 Championships, helping capture the bronze medal. He appeared in 16 games at the junior level at the Under 18 level and World Junior Championships.

Enroth made his senior debut with the Swedish National Team appearing in 2 games at the 2012 World Championships. With the Sabres outside the Stanley Cup playoffs, following the shortened 2012–13 season, the door was open for the Tre Kronor, and he went on to play in the World Championships, where Sweden broke a 27-year-old curse and won the gold medal. It marked the first time since 1986 a hosting nation won the title. Enroth was highly acclaimed for his efforts and was selected in the All Star Team of the tournament.

He was selected to the Swedish squad as the team's third choice goaltender at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. He did not feature in a game, as Sweden claimed the Silver medal.
