On July 25, 2014, Kolomatis signed as a free agent abroad in Finland on a one-year contract with Tappara of the Liiga.[2] In his single season abroad in 2014–15, Kolomatis produced just 1 goal and 12 points in 45 games with Tappara.

He was later signed to stay for the remainder of the season with the Marlies, appearing in 23 games.

In the off-season, Kolomatis opted to return for a sixth season in Manchester, signing a new one-year deal on August 17, 2016.[4]
