Tyler Ennis and the Buffalo Sabres are continuing to work towards a new contract.

Ennis is currently a restricted free agent. “We spoke with his agent yesterday (Tuesday) and I think that will continue today,” Sabres GM Darcy Regier said. “That’s always a hard one [to say how close the sides are]. Close. The positive is it’s moving in the right direction.” Ennis had 15 goals and 34 points in 48 games in 2011-12.
