Fiala is coming off the best season of his career where he put up 33 goals and 85 points in 82 games.



The amazing part about this as well is he hardly played any time on the top line, Fiala was used more as a middle 6 player and despite that he was second on the team in points, only behind Kapril Kaprizov.

Just like the rest of us, Kevin Fiala was wowed by his goal on Wednesday night! pic.twitter.com/e9RASvLl7X— NHL (@NHL) November 12, 2021
