Tyler Ennis is feeling good again.
For the first time since suffering a concussion Dec. 30, Ennis returned to Sabres practice, and he couldn't be happier.
"Today was a great day," Ennis told John Vogl of The Buffalo News. "It was fun to be with the team. It's so fun to be out there, joke around with the boys. I'm in a good mood."
Ennis sustained the injury on a bruising hit from Alex Ovechkin, and admitted there were dark days in overcoming the concussion.
"It's a really difficult thing," Ennis said. "I went through a lot of different emotions, a lot of ups and downs, so yeah, there's really bad days. There's days where you feel great and there's days where it's tough. To say I wasn't scared at some point would probably be a lie, but I feel so good right now. I feel great. I feel 100 percent."
"I wish we could play 82 more games," he added.
The Sabres center hasn't been cleared for contact, and won't suit up for the final two games on Buffalo's schedule.
He registered 11 points in 23 games before the injury.
