Kevin Fiala gets crushing news after scary injury last night

Team Switzerland came into the 2026 Olympics full of hope, and while they're not done yet in group play, they were dealt a major blow when they fell 5-1 to Canada on Friday.

However, they were dealt a crushing blow in that loss when veteran forward Kevin Fiala had to be stretchered off the ice following a collision with Washington Capitals star Tom Wilson.

The latest update is not only a crushing blow to Switzerland, but the Los Angeles Kings as well, as Elliotte Friedman has now reported he will officially miss the remainder of the 2025/26 season.

According to reports, while the exact injury is unknown, Fiala is currently undergoing surgery and will be out until the summer, which is a major blow for a Kings team that had eyes on making a deep Stanley Cup Playoffs run this summer with Fiala healthy.

For the Kings this season, the 29-year old veteran has 22 goals and 18 points in 56 games played, and given how important he is to the teams top-six, this could at the very least force them to change their trade deadline plans, or at worst derail their entire campaign.

When this happened, it looked like a brutal injury that could cost Fiala some time this season, and now the worst has been confirmed, with Switzerland's chances taking a big hit in the Olympics and the Kings regular season hopes taking a major hit too.
