Los Angeles Kings winger Kevin Fiala is injured and listed as day-to-day, according to Zach Dooley of L.A. Kings Insider. Fiala will miss Saturday night’s contest when the Kings host the Nashville Predators. Fiala left the Kings' game on Thursday night against the Colorado Avalanche after a knee-on-knee hit from Andrew Cogliano. Of course the Kings don’t want Fiala to miss any time, but the fact he is only listed as day-to-day is great news as the collision looked like it could possibly result in a far more serious injury.
Fiala is leading the Kings in scoring with 68 points this season. He has been terrific in Los Angeles after being acquired from the Predators for a first-round pick and Brock Faber during the offseason. The 26-year-old winger plays a great two-way game and has fit in on the team’s top line with Anze Kopitar. He also fills in on a tremendous all-around trio with Phillip Danault and Viktor Arvidsson from time to time. It sounds like his absence will be short term, and that is great news for Kings fans who were holding their breath since Thursday night.
