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":177942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[12672,58409,2424,423,2871,664,84583,48,52,51,34904,47,50,49,3289,69902,84585,58307,36690,47108,84584],"class_list":["post-177941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-canada","tag-fiala","tag-friday","tag-game","tag-ice","tag-king","tag-king-winger-kevin-fiala","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-leg","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-loss","tag-milan-cortina-olympics","tag-play-medical-personnel","tag-stretcher","tag-switzerland","tag-tom-wilson","tag-wing-kevin-fiala"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
