Thanks to five January goals, Reilly Smith reached the 20-goal mark for the fourth time in his NHL career and is on pace to shatter her career high of 25 goals set with Florida in 2015-16.
Smith also recently recorded his 200th NHL goal.
In eight games this month, he has scored five times and picked up an assist.
Here are the highlights and stats of former Miamians currently playing pro hockey around the world:
NHL: Blake Coleman recorded his first career hat trick on Jan. 14 in a 7-4 loss to Toronto.
Coleman has scored five goals in his last four games and has 55 in four pro seasons.
— Jack Roslovic scored in back-to-back games on Jan. 14 and 17, giving him nine tallies on the season.
That ties his career high in goals. Still just 22, Roslovic has already logged 158 NHL games and has 57 points.
— Andy Greene notched two points in a game for just the second time this season, going 1-1-2 in a 3-1 win over Washington.
AHL: Andy Miele rejoined the AHL after spending two seasons in Europe, and he picked up his fifth game-winning goal of the season and his 400th league point in the past week.
Miele, playing with Tucson this season, went 2-1-3 in a 4-2 win over Colorado on Jan. 11, scoring the first and third goals.
He assisted on the Roadrunners’ lone goal on Jan. 17 for point No. 400.
— Curtis McKenzie lead Chicago in goals with 13, and he has notched five points in his last five games with the Wolves.
— Riley Barber is second on Laval in points with 24, and he reached the 200-point mark in the AHL with a 1-1-2 performance on Jan. 10.
— In his last six games with Stockton, Austin Czarnik has tallied multiple points in four, going 3-5-8 in that span.
He has 174 points in 173 AHL games and a plus-40 rating.
— San Diego’s Kiefer Sherwood has scored three goals in his last three games.
Sherwood teammate Chris Wideman leads all Gulls defensemen in goals (9), assists (13) and points (22).
ECHL: Utah’s Taylor Richart leads the league in power play goals by a defenseman with six, and he is tied for the ECHL lead with 10 goals overall.
Richart is also tied for No. 10 in the league in points by a blueliner (24).
— Cincinnati’s Justin Vaive is fourth on his team in scoring with 26 points, second in goals (15) and leads the Cyclones with a plus-17 rating.
— In his first pro season, Norfolk’s River Rymsha is second on his team in defenseman goals (5).
SPHL: Max Cook is playing in his sixth season in this league and has racked up 139 career points, and he seems to be getting better with age.
Cook, the team captain with nine goals and 19 assists for Fayetteville, is on pace to break his previous career highs in goals (11) and points (40), both set last season.
Cook had two goals and an assist vs. Macon on Jan. 17, giving him points in 14 of 15 games.
Europe: Tommy Wingels is playing in his second season for Geneve Servette of the Swiss National League, and he is its leading scorer with 36 points in 37 games.
Wingels was injured last season and limited to 19 games.
— Alex Wideman is exceling in his first season overseas.
Wideman has 31 points for Crimmitschau of the DEL-2, the second-best league in Germany.
He is tied for second on the team in points and is riding a five-game point streak, going 3-5-8 in that span.
— Jeff Zatkoff, the only former Miami goalie still active in the pros, is 16-4 with a 2.00 goals-against average for Straubing of the top-tier league in Germany.
Zatkoff, in his second season in the DEL, has 40 wins and five shutouts in 67 games.
