Kevin Fiala Suffers Apparent Serious Leg Injury at 2026 Olympics

Kevin Fiala suffered an apparent serious injury during Switzerland’s Olympic game on Friday at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games, casting a shadow over his ability to play the rest of the tournament.

The Los Angeles Kings forward went down following a heavy collision involving Tom Wilson, with replays suggesting contact to Fiala’s left knee or leg as it bent awkwardly during the fall. He remained on the ice for several minutes and required medical attention before a stretcher was brought out, helping him off the ice as he was unable to leave under his own power.

The incident occurred late in the third period, with Team Canada leading comfortably 5-1. It was clear on the faces of the Team Canada players as they watched the replay on their iPads. They knew it wasn’t good. Concern quickly spread across social media, where fans described the scene as “not a good sign” and feared a lengthy absence.

No official diagnosis has been released by the Swiss team doctors or the Kings — as the injury just happened a few minutes prior to this post going live. Fiala entered the Olympics in strong form and had been a key contributor for Switzerland. He had recently made comments about how many times this group of players had played together and move much they love each others.

If the injury proves long-term, it could significantly impact both his national team and Los Angeles’ playoff outlook. Updates are expected soon.
