Kevin Fiala - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Kings winger Kevin Fiala undergoes follow-up surgery for broken leg sustained during Olympics

Los Angeles Kings forward Kevin Fiala will miss the start of training camp after undergoing a follow-up surgery for the broken leg he sustained during the Milan Cortina Olympics

SEPTEMBER 10 • Associated Press

Won't be ready for training camp Fiala (lower leg fracture) has undergone an additional procedure and won't be ready for the start of training camp, the team announced Thursday.

Impact Fiala suffered the injury during the 2026 Winter Olympics, which led to him undergoing surgery in mid-February. He hasn't played in the NHL since Feb. 5. The 30-year-old finished the 2025-26 regular season with 18 goals and 40 points in 56 appearances with the Kings. If he's healthy this campaign, Fiala has a good chance of hitting the 25-goal and 60-point milestones. 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.
