Kevin Fiala - NHL News & Rumors

Records power-play assist in debut Fiala notched a power-play assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Fiala returned to action after a nearly nine-month absence due to a broken leg sustained during his time with Switzerland at the Olympics. The 30-year-old saw time in a second-line role, and he should also be part of the top power-play unit moving forward. Last year, he had 40 points in 56 appearances prior to his injury. He should be a good source of points and shots moving forward.

Debuting Thursday Fiala (lower leg) will make his 2026-27 season debut against the Islanders on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Fiala will play for the first time since suffering a broken leg at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Prior to getting hurt, the 30-year-old winger notched 18 goals and 22 assists in 56 regular-season games, including 17 points with the man advantage. The Kings will likely ease Fiala back into action, but he could eventually push for a top-six role and a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Nearing return to lineup Fiala (lower leg) should play Thursday against the Islanders or Saturday against Calgary, according to Emily Kaplan of ESPN.

Impact Fiala has been progressing in recent practices and is close to making his 2026-27 debut. He hasn't played since the 2026 Winter Olympics in February, when he suffered a lower-leg fracture while competing for Switzerland. Fiala registered 18 goals, 40 points, 147 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 39 hits in 56 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2025-26.

Remains week-to-week Head coach Peter Laviolette said Thursday that Fiala (lower leg) remains on a week-to-week timeline, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Fiala skated in a non-contact sweater during Thursday's morning skate, but Laviolette said later in the day that the 30-year-old still has several steps he needs to take before he's in consideration to return to game action. Fiala has been unavailable since the start of the regular season while continuing his recovery process from a lower leg fracture that required a pair of procedures.

Returns to practice Fiala (lower leg) was spotted skating in a non-contact jersey at Kings' morning skate Thursday.

Impact Fiala's presence at Thursday's practice is an encouraging sign for the Kings, as he's been sidelined since the 2026 Olympics after fracturing his lower leg in Switzerland's group-stage game against Canada. The 30-year-old winger compiled 18 goals, 40 points and 146 shots on net across 56 regular-season outings in the 2025-26 campaign. It remains to be seen how close he is to returning to the lineup, but when he does, he'll add major offensive firepower for the Kings, who currently rank 27th in the NHL with just 2.55 goals per game to start the season. He's a great player to stash on an IR spot in fantasy for the time being.

Not close to returning Fiala (lower leg fracture) is at least three weeks away from being ready to play, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Thursday.

Impact Fiala is slated to begin skating on his own next week, so he is making progress. He hasn't played since suffering the injury during the 2026 Winter Olympics. Fiala is expected to serve in a top-six capacity and will likely also be part of the first power-play unit once he's healthy.

However, there's no timetable for his return beyond the revelation that he won't be ready for the beginning of training camp.

Not ruled out for postseason Fiala (lower leg fracture) will be reevaluated at the end of the regular season, the Kings announced Sunday.

Impact Fiala has not yet been ruled out of the playoffs, though the Kings are in a precarious position, sitting three points out of a playoff spot at the Olympic break. Fiala sustained a lower-leg fracture Friday in Switzerland's Olympic group-stage game versus Canada, and the injury required surgery. Expect the Kings to place Fiala on long-term injured reserve eventually to free up some cap space. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can cut Fiala at this point since he won't be back before mid-April at the earliest.
