The Finnish Liiga has now suspended play for some time, meaning New York Islanders Otto Koivula could be headed back from loan soon.
On Tuesday the Mestis league suspended play for the remainder of the calendar year. Putting into question Jakub Skarek’s loan spell with Peliitat. Skarek was loan out by the New York Islanders to the Mestis side in the middle of November and had only played four games since his return to Finland.
What happens next for Skarek is still unclear, mainly because when the 2020-21 NHL and AHL will begin is also unclear.
