The leg injury Kings star Kevin Fiala suffered during the Olympics is season-ending, according to ESPN.
Fiala, playing with Switzerland, sustained the injury during the team’s loss to Canada on Friday.
He was stretchered off the ice with what the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation called a lower-leg injury and subsequently underwent surgery after being hospitalized, ruling him out for the rest of the 2026 Games.
And the Kings’ worst fears were confirmed Saturday with the news they won’t have him when the NHL season resumes.
Fiala, 29, was hit by Canada’s Tom Wilson before they both fell, with Wilson’s weight landing on Fiala.
