After failing to find the proper situation as a free agent in the NHL over the summer, veteran defenseman Tobias Enstrom is heading home to play for Modo of Sweden's second-tier HockeyAllsvenskan league, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Enstrom suited up for Modo in the Swedish Hockey League from 2002-07 before making his NHL debut with the Atlanta Thrashers.
The 33-year-old has been hampered by injuries throughout his career, particularly over the last four seasons. In 2017-18, Enstrom only appeared in 43 games for the Winnipeg Jets, and he was shut down with a lower-body injury in March before returning for the postseason.
The playoffs didn't end on a particularly happy note, however. Enstrom was scratched before Game 5 of the Western Conference Final versus the Vegas Golden Knights, a decision that reportedly bothered him so much that he didn't show up for the club's exit meetings or locker cleanout.
Enstrom spent his entire 11-year NHL career with the Thrashers/Jets organization, recording 308 points in 719 games.
