Fantasy Impact: This is unfortunate news for the Kings, who are just three points out of a playoff spot, as they lose their second-leading scorer to a gruesome leg injury during the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics. It's also a tough blow for Team Switzerland as they were certainly in the mix for, at least, making it to the quarterfinals. Fiala had 18 goals and 22 assists for 40 points in 56 games with the Kings this season, trailing only Adrian Kempe's 46 points on the roster. Fiala scored at least 60 points in four consecutive seasons and was well on his way to a fifth before the injury.
