Ennis announced his retirement Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ennis had five assists in seven games while playing with the Mannheim Eagles of the German league this campaign. The 34-year-old logged 700 NHL games across 13 seasons with Buffalo, Edmonton, Ottawa, Minnesota and Toronto, totaling 144 goals and 346 points. His best offensive season came in 2010-11 when he contributed 20 goals and 49 points in 82 outings with Buffalo. Ennis also had four goals and 12 points in 24 career playoff games.

Ennis (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL's media site.

EDGE Analysis

Ennis missed Tuesday's win over Montreal and will now miss at least the next two games, including Thursday's tilt with Nashville. The 32-year-old is averaging 12:33 of ice time with 24 points through 57 games this season.

Ennis (upper body) will not be in the lineup against Montreal on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ennis was starting to find some offense of late with three points in his last four contests, though he did manage just two shots over that stretch as well. If the veteran winger can avoid an extended absence, he could still reach the 30-point threshold for just the second time in the last seven seasons. In his stead, Parker Kelly was called up from the minors and will jump into a bottom-six role versus the Habs.

Ennis (upper body) will not return to Sunday's game against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Ennis logged 7:23 of ice time before suffering an injury during the second period. The 32-year-old had recorded a point in his previous three appearances and he now sits at 24 points through 57 contests. An update on his status should be available before Tuesday's tilt with Montreal.

Ennis scored his seventh goal of the season in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

It was a grinder's goal, as Ennis made his way to the front of the Columbus net and jostled Elvis Merzlikins slightly to move him back in the crease, creating enough space for him to tap home a feed from Thomas Chabot (upper body). Ennis is holding down a spot on the second line for the Senators at even strength, but with only 21 points through 50 games on the season, he's not on any fantasy radars.

Ennis provided an assist in a 4-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ennis now has points in four of his last six games after an extended cold streak that saw him put up just three points in eight games in December. The 32-year-old has already doubled his output from last season, with 18 points across 35 contests.

Ennis scored his fifth goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

He was able to beat John Gibson midway through the first period to tie the score at 1-1, but it was the only offense the Senators could muster on the afternoon. Ennis is enjoying some success lately on Ottawa's top line with four goals and five points in the last four games, but on the season he has only 17 points through 33 contests.

Ennis scored three goals on six shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Ennis came into this one with just one goal in 30 games this season, but he tripled that total in this game alone, putting forth an inspired performance against the team with which he spent his first eight seasons. The diminutive forward potted two of Ottawa's three goals in a 2:55 span in the first period, then completed the hat trick with just 30 seconds remaining in the third. It wasn't a cheap empty netter, either, as Aaron Dell was still in Buffalo's net.

Ennis delivered an assist in a 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ennis also took six shots in this one. The 32-year-old had not picked up an assist over his last games and still has not scored a goal since all the way back on Oct. 14 against Toronto. In 30 games, Ennis is up to one goal and 12 assists.

Ennis cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ennis has averaged 10:56 of ice time and distributed three assists through his eight appearances since the end of November. The 32-year-old fourth-liner departed the protocols only having missed one contest.
