Enstrom signed a one-year contract to play for Modo in his native Sweden on Friday, Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Enstrom spent five seasons representing his hometown club from 2002-07 and now he's returning as team captain. The puck-moving defenseman accrued 54 goals and 254 assists to go along with a plus-5 rating over 719 NHL games for the Thrashers/Jets, and even though he was said to have drawn a "fair amount" of interest as a free agent, an attractive deal to remain in the NHL failed to materialize for the oft-injured 33-year-old veteran.

Enstrom said he will not return to the Jets next season, Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The two-way blueliner doesn't know what it feels like to play for a different team, as he's been with the club since his draft year in 2003 -- when the Jets were based in Atlanta and called the "Thrashers." Injuries limited Enstrom to 43 games this past season, and he put up a mere six points in that span. In his prime, he had no problem putting up 30-point seasons, but the Swede is now 33 years old and clearly on the downslope of his career.

Enstrom appeared in a mere 43 contests this season.

EDGE Analysis

Various injuries throughout the 2017-18 campaign set Enstrom back and limited him to only tallied six points -- the lowest total of his 11-year NHL career. At this point, it seems improbable the blueliner will get back to being a 50-point producer like he was in his Thrashers days. More likely, the 32-year-old figures to be in the high teens, low 20s in terms of offensive numbers heading into 2018-19.

Enstrom (lower body) will make his 2018 postseason debut against the Predators on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Enstrom hasn't played since March 23 due to his lower-body injury. The Swede is slated to slot into the Jets' second pairing in order to provide some defensive support to the offensively-minded Dustin Byfuglien. With the 32-year-old Enstrom healthy, Joe Morrow figures to be the odd man out.

Enstrom (lower body) took part in Tuesday's practice sporting a regular jersey, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the team hasn't provided an official update on Enstrom's status, it's definitely a good sign that he has been cleared for contact. At the earliest, the Jets won't be in action until Thursday for Game 1 against Nashville, which gives the defender a few days to see how he responds to the rigors of practice. If the Swede is given the all-clear to return, Ben Chiarot or Joe Morrow will likely be relegated to the press box.

Enstrom (lower body) will not be in action against the Wild on Friday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is certainly an encouraging sign that Enstrom was able to take the ice at Friday's optional morning skate, but fantasy owners will need to wait at least one more game for the defender to suit up. If the Jets can clinch the series in Game 5, the Swede will get some extra time to get back to 100 percent. Once Enstrom is given the all-clear, Tucker Poolman is a near lock to get bounced from the lineup.

Enstrom (lower body) is slated to be sidelined for Game 4 against the Wild on Tuesday after missing the game-day skate, per Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun.

EDGE Analysis

Enstrom's return can't come soon enough for the Jets, who are now also going to be without the services of Tyler Myers (lower body) for Game 4. With both guys unavailable, Tucker Poolman will make his postseason debut on Winnipeg's third pairing. If the 32-year-old Enstrom can get healthy, he should bolster a blue line that is already doing a good job limiting shots on goalie Connor Hellebuyck (22 per game).

Enstrom (lower body) won't return for Game 3 on Sunday against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

March 23 still marks Enstrom's last appearance, and with the series now 2-0 in Winnipeg's favor, perhaps head coach Paul Maurice is electing to let him push closer to full health before letting Enstrom skate in the physical playoffs. The 33-year-old seems probable to return either at the end of the first round or the start of the second, as he was also a game time call Friday as well.

Enstrom (lower body) won't play Game 2 versus the Wild on Friday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Enstrom was a game-time decision Friday, which may signal he's nearing a return. The veteran blueliner only suited up for 43 games in the regular season, struggling with a variety of injuries and notching just six points.

Enstrom (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Game 2 against the Wild on Friday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Enstrom only recently returns to the ice, so he is probably closer to the long shot end of the game-time call spectrum. Fantasy owners should probably expect Joe Morrow to continue filling in on the blue line in the Swede's stead. Even if the 32-year-old doesn't suit up Friday, it would seem likely he could return before the end of the club's opening-round series.
