Fiala's Leg Surgery Successful; Out for Season, Playoff Return Uncertain

LA Kings forward Kevin Fiala sustained a lower-leg fracture Friday during Switzerland's Olympic game against Canada, requiring surgery. The Kings announced Sunday that Fiala's surgery was successful, but the 29-year-old will miss the remainder of the regular season. He is expected to be reevaluated at the end of the season, with a potential playoff return not anticipated before mid-April. The team is considering placing him on long-term injured reserve.
