Jhonas Erik Enroth (born 25 June 1988) is a Swedish ice hockey goaltender who is currently playing within the Anaheim Ducks organization of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played for the Buffalo Sabres, Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs.
Enroth was selected on 24 June 2006, by the Buffalo Sabres as their 2nd draft choice (46th overall), in the second round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
In 2007 he was named as the first of four candidates for Elitserien 2008 Rookie of the Year. The award was eventually won by another goaltender, Daniel Larsson. He ended the 2007–08 regular season in Sweden as the leading goaltender in save percentage and goals against average. On 31 May 2008, Enroth signed a three-year level entry contract with the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL. He also was the top European goaltender in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He had his first NHL pre-season appearance on 22 September, playing the second half of the game for the Buffalo Sabres.
On 22 February 2009, he was recalled to Buffalo from the Portland Pirates before he was returned to the Pirates without featuring in a game. On 4 November 2009, he was recalled again to Buffalo. Enroth made his NHL debut against the Boston Bruins 7 November 2009 in a losing effort, giving up four goals. He did not get another chance at the NHL level until 3 November 2010 of the 2010–11 NHL season, when he played 20 minutes of an away game against the Boston Bruins, allowing three goals on just twelve shots to record his second NHL loss.
