MILAN\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Kings left wing Kevin Fiala sustained a leg injury and was taken off the ice on a stretcher late in Switzerland\u2019s game against Canada at the Milan-Cortina Olympics on Friday.<\/p>\n
Fiala went down when he collided with Tom Wilson with just less than three minutes left in Canada\u2019s 5-1 victory.<\/p>\n
Fiala backed into a hit on Wilson near the boards, their legs got tangled and both players fell to the ice. Fiala couldn\u2019t get up and after a stoppage in play medical personnel attended to him.<\/p>\n
Fiala was placed face down on a stretcher and his left leg appeared to be in an air cast as he was wheeled out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t seen him yet. I think he went to the hospital. Obviously it doesn\u2019t look very good,\u201d Swiss coach Patrick Fischer said. \u201cTough moment for Kevin and the whole team, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n
No penalty was assessed on the play.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was an accident,\u201d Fischer said.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old Fiala is in his 12th NHL season and fourth with the Kings. He has 40 points in 56 games this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MILAN\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Kings left wing Kevin Fiala sustained a leg injury and was taken off the ice on a stretcher…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":457457,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5126],"tags":[19,7037,110,654,5,1371,816,55523,186,1760,240,5303,52279,793,145,5304,5302,952,15348,4,55525,55522,6711,280,55524],"class_list":{"0":"post-457456","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-kings","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-fiala","10":"tag-friday","11":"tag-game","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-ice","14":"tag-king","15":"tag-king-winger-kevin-fiala","16":"tag-kings","17":"tag-la","18":"tag-la-kings","19":"tag-lakings","20":"tag-leg","21":"tag-los-angeles","22":"tag-los-angeles-kings","23":"tag-losangeles","24":"tag-losangeleskings","25":"tag-loss","26":"tag-milan-cortina-olympics","27":"tag-nhl","28":"tag-play-medical-personnel","29":"tag-stretcher","30":"tag-switzerland","31":"tag-tom-wilson","32":"tag-wing-kevin-fiala"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116066577688430158","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=457456"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457456\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/457457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=457456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=457456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=457456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
