Tyler Ennis, who joined the Maple Leafs to rejuvenate a career waylaid by injuries, has been chosen as the team’s candidate for the Bill Masterton Trophy. Tyler Ennis, the Leafs’ Masterton Trophy nominee, fends off Flyer Corban Knight in Wednesday night’s game in Philadelphia. He took the league minimum: $650,000 in a low-risk, high-reward move by the Maple Leafs. Eventually, Ennis landed on the fourth line and proved to be one of the team’s hardest workers. He had been diagnosed with myeloid leukemia, a form of bone marrow cancer, at the beginning of training camp.
