Kevin Fiala Ruled Out of Olympics After Lower-Leg Injury vs. Canada

Tom Wilson apologized following the late check, with Switzerland facing further lineup losses.

Overview

  • The Swiss federation says medical tests found a lower-leg injury that ends Fiala’s participation in Milan.
  • Fiala was taken off on a stretcher late in the 5–1 defeat to Canada and transported to hospital.
  • From his hospital bed, Fiala thanked supporters on Instagram and showed his heavily bandaged left leg.
  • Some outlets report a lower‑leg fracture and a possible season-ending absence in the NHL, but that specific diagnosis has not been officially confirmed.
  • Switzerland also lost Andrea Glauser with a suspected concussion and Denis Malgin to injury, as Canadian players tapped their sticks in respect and Wilson expressed remorse.
