Kevin Fiala was stretchered off the ice due to a lower leg injury during Switzerland’s game against Team Canada, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2026 men’s Olympic hockey tournament. The injury significantly impacts Switzerland’s chances of medaling and could affect the Los Angeles Kings’ playoff aspirations, as Fiala is a key player with 18 goals and 40 points this NHL season. His availability post-Olympics remains uncertain, with the Kings set to play on February 25. Fiala previously suffered a similar injury in 2017, which required surgery.
