Ennis will miss his second straight contest Friday as he continues to deal with a lower-body injury, John Vogl of the Buffalo News reports.

Ennis has averaged 3:39 TOI on a Sabres power play that has surprisingly ranked eighth best in the NHL with a 23.7 percent conversion rate, so he will be missed in those situations as he has a pair of power-play goals thus far. This may create an opportunity for fellow center Zemgus Girgensons to pick up some ice time on the man advantage Friday night against the Flyers.
