Sabres goaltender Jhonas Enroth, who led NHL rookie netminders with 26 appearances, has been named to the All-Rookie Team.
Enroth went 8-11-4 with a 2.70 goals-against average and .917 save percentage. Enroth joined goalie Tom Barrasso (1983-84), forward Ray Sheppard (1987-88) and defensemen Phil Housley (1982-83), Calle Johansson (1987-88) and Tyler Myers (2009-10) as the only Sabres to make the All-Rookie Team.
The Professional Hockey Writers' Association votes for the team.
