Source: Fiala's season likely over after Olympic injury

"With just under three minutes remaining in Canada's 5-1 round robin victory over Switzerland on Friday, Fiala backed into a hit by forward Tom Wilson near the side boards. Their legs became tangled, and they fell to the ice, with Wilson's full weight on Fiala's leg. Play was stopped and Fiala was eventually wheeled off the ice face-down on a stretcher with an air cast on his left leg."

"There was no penalty called on the play. Swiss coach Patrick Fischer called the incident "accidental" after the game. Wilson said the play was "just unlucky" in discussing Fiala's injury. "He's a competitor, obviously. At this point, it's the Olympic Games, and I feel terrible that he may not be able to keep playing and just sending his family and him my best," said Wilson, who plays for the Washington Capitals."

Kevin Fiala suffered a severe lower-leg injury while playing for Switzerland against Canada and was stretchered off with an air cast on his left leg. He was ruled out of the rest of the Milan Cortina Olympics and underwent surgery after hospitalization. An NHL source said the injury is likely season-ending. The injury occurred as Fiala's leg became tangled with Tom Wilson's near the boards; Wilson's full weight landed on Fiala's leg and no penalty was called. The injury weakens the Los Angeles Kings, where Fiala had 40 points and 18 goals in 56 games.
