Kevin Fiala Injured at Olympics

During a group-stage game between Switzerland and Canada at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, Kevin Fiala of the Los Angeles Kings was stretchered off the ice after an awkward collision with Canada's Tom Wilson. The incident occurred late in the third period when Wilson appeared to fall on Fiala's left leg along the boards. No penalty was assessed on the play. Fiala was visibly in pain and unable to move his lower body after the collision. The injury is a significant blow to the Swiss team, as Fiala is one of their top players. It also raises concerns for the Los Angeles Kings, who are in a tight playoff race and rely heavily on Fiala's offensive contributions. Fiala had previously suffered a broken femur during the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Kings had acquired Artemi Panarin before the Olympic break, aiming to bolster their roster for a playoff push. With Fiala's injury, their plans may be disrupted. Switzerland ultimately lost to Canada 5-1. The team will next play Czechia.
