Tyler Ennis is off to Switzerland.
The center has become the second member of the Sabres to commit to playing overseas during the lockout, agreeing to a deal with Langnau of the Swiss league.
Defenseman Christian Ehrhoff signed with a German club earlier in the week.
Langnau announced it has agreed to deals with Ennis and Minnesota's Jared Spurgeon, a childhood friend of Ennis. NHL stars Brad Richards and Joe Thornton have also signed with Swiss teams.
