Pro report: Europe cancels playoffs

Several Miami alumni playing in Europe had their seasons abruptly halted prior to or during the playoffs due to the Coronavirus threat.

DEL and DEL2, the top two German leagues, have canceled their postseasons, as has Austria’s top league, EBEL.

Jeff Zatkoff is 22-6 with a 2.41 goals-against average for Straubing, which would have been the three seed in DEL heading into the postseason. The Fischtown Penguins, a Bremerhaven-based team for whom Will Weber plays, were fourth.

Alex Wideman and Pat Cannone play in DEL2, and while Wideman’s Crimmitschau team was slated for a postseason berth, Cannone’s team did not qualify for the playoffs.

Trevor Hamilton plays for Graz, which was already three games into a best-of-7 in EBEL before that league’s season was suspended.

Tommy Wingels skates for Geneva of the National League – the top league in Switzerland – and the NL has said it will make a decision regarding its postseason on Friday, for which Geneva qualified.

Colin Sullivan, with Chamonix-Morzine of Ligue Magnus, the highest level of hockey in France, was already swept out of the postseason, four games to none by top-seeded Grenoble in a best of seven series.

Matthew Caito’s KooKoo of Liiga, the top-tier league in Finland, is still in the regular season.

A look at recent highlights of former Miamians playing hockey around the world:

NHL: In 10 games with Las Vegas, after being traded there from Los Angeles, defenseman Alec Martinez has already matched his points output from his 41 games with the Kings.

Martinez, who recently skated in his 600th NHL game, has two goals and six assists as a Golden Knight after going 1-7-8 in Los Angeles, collecting points in each of his last two games.

— New Martinez teammate forward Reilly Smith also has points in back-to-back games and has a career-high 27 goals.

— Boston center Sean Kuraly has 23 points this season, eclipsing his previous career best of 21 points set last season.

AHL: Utica forward Carter Camper has caught fire the past two weeks, recording points in five straight games and recording a goal and seven assists.

This past weekend he went 1-3-4 in a two-game series at Charlotte.

In 10 pro seasons, Camper has 421 AHL points in 557 games.

— Chicago forward Curtis McKenzie is riding a four-game point streak, with three goals in his last two games.

McKenzie, who recently skated in his 350th career AHL game, is tied for the Wolves’ lead in goals (17) and is second in points (42).

ECHL: Utah’s Taylor Richart has five assists in his last six games and is tied for fourth in the league in defenseman points with 41.

Richart is tied for the league lead in blueliner power play goals with eight and is tops in the ECHL in shots by a D-man with 189.

— With three goals in his last six contests, Cincinnati’s Justin Vaive reached the 20-goal mark for the second time in his ECHL career.

His plus-23 rating is tied for 14th-best among league forwards.

Europe: Caito is off to a strong start in March, notching two goals and four assists for KooKoo, including a 2-3-5 line his last two games.

He tallied three assists, including the overtime game winner vs. Karpat of Oulu on March 7.

Caito bested that on March 10, when he scored the tying and ultimate game-winning goals – with the latter coming unassisted – in a 5-2 win over Helsinki’s HIFK team.
